Our accelerated, two-year postgraduate course is aimed at graduates who wish to prepare to practise as a registered speech and language therapist. Our course content reflects the values of the NHS constitution and combines theory and practical sessions over 45 weeks per year.
You’ll study topics including developmental language disorder, stroke, and difficulties with eating, drinking or swallowing (dysphagia). You’ll explore areas such as autism and stammering, mental health, speech sound disorders, augmentative and alternative communication, and neurological conditions.
You’ll go on placement in both years of study and have further practice-based learning experiences. Some of the placements you might experience include working with children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) provision in clinic settings and schools, working with children with autism in a residential complex, and working with adults with learning disabilities and adults recovering from strokes in hospital.
