On the Speech and Language Therapy (SLT) degree course you ll study aspects of human biology, linguistics (the study of language), phonetics (the study of speech sounds) and psychology. You ll also gain research skills and discover theories of SLT interventions and practice. From the beginning of this three-year programme you ll discover how these core academic areas relate to a wide range of client groups, including children with developmental speech and language disorders, individuals with learning disabilities, and adults with acquired communication and swallowing difficulties. These client groups form the basis for your modules. Throughout the course you ll use Problem-Based Learning (PBL) to develop skills such as team working, negotiating and leadership. You ll also use group learning to expand your knowledge of SLT practice.
