If you are keen to become an allied health professional and want to shape the future of speech and language therapy, read on to find out how we can help you achieve those objectives.
Speech and language therapists work with people of all ages who experience communication and swallowing difficulties, enabling them to maximise their independence in their social, academic, and working lives.

This is a two-year fast-track programme for graduates with a related degree (psychology; language and linguistics; social science; biological sciences; medical sciences or equivalent). It is a client-focused programme which uses a wide range of teaching methods, including enquiry-based learning to integrate theory and clinical practice. You will undertake practice education placements with speech and language therapists and members of the multi professional teams in which we work.
Our course is continuously developed to reflect contemporary health, education, and social care practice. A wide range of stakeholders continue to be involved, to ensure that changes in speech and language therapy practice are incorporated in the programme.
The school hosts a range of pre-registration courses including nursing, mental health nursing, occupational therapy, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, oral health and social work; providing opportunities to interact with a wide range of aspiring health and social care professionals.
