Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences

Being able to communicate with others is a fundamental human pursuit. Speech, hearing and language professionals have the privilege of bringing that gift to the community – whether that be through helping someone hear for the first time, assisting a stroke patient to speak again or investigating how children acquire language. The Bachelor of Speech and Hearing Sciences – Australia’s only integrated undergraduate speech and hearing sciences degree – will position you to join these professionals in unlocking the power of communication for others. The degree’s unique structure will equip you for a diverse range of postgraduate opportunities, including in speech pathology, audiology, linguistics, TESOL, editing and publishing, and speech and hearing research. And by providing a strong foundation in the science of language – processes, structure and acquisition – it will also open doors to extensive career opportunities immediately after graduation. Think: clinical administration, management or marketing; speech technology; language revitalisation in Indigenous communities; or language support for multicultural communities – to name a few.
