BSc (Hons) Speech and Language Therapy

Health Sciences University

Speech and language therapy is a specialist, science-based profession focused on assessing and treating communication needs and swallowing difficulties. Our BSc (Hons) Speech and Language Therapy course is designed to develop autonomous, team-orientated practitioners who deliver compassionate, evidence-based care and who are ready for the breadth of modern employment opportunities.

You’ll develop strong foundations in the subjects that underpin the profession – including anatomy, neurology, phonetics, phonology and linguistics – and you’ll build the professional skills you need to practise safely and inclusively. Person-centred practice sits at the heart of the curriculum, with a strong emphasis on communication, consent, safeguarding, ethics and reflective practice.

Practice-based learning is integral. Across your placements you’ll gain experience with a wide range of client groups and settings, including opportunities linked to Health Sciences University’s on-site clinical services, alongside NHS, education and community environments. You’ll also learn alongside students from other health disciplines at HSU, strengthening your ability to work effectively in multi-professional teams.
