This is a 4-year professional programme that provides students with theoretical knowledge and clinical skills in speech pathology. Students will undertake programme core courses that cover topics on communication sciences and disorders, medical and health sciences, linguistics, education, psychology, and research, plus several elective and university courses. The students will also have to accumulate 400 clinical educational hours and 250 clinical contact hours during clinical years, i.e., from Year 2 to Year 4 and to complete a research project during the final year.
