bachelor of speech language and hearing sciences

The Bachelor of Speech-Language and Hearing Sciences is a multidisciplinary programme focused on understanding, assessing, and treating communication and swallowing disorders across the lifespan. It integrates knowledge from linguistics, psychology, anatomy, physiology, acoustics, and neurology to address conditions such as speech sound disorders, language impairments, fluency disorders (stuttering), voice disorders, hearing loss, and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia). Students learn to diagnose, develop treatment plans, and provide evidence-based intervention for individuals with communication and swallowing challenges. The programme also emphasizes the importance of early intervention, prevention, and advocacy for individuals with communication disorders.
