Overview

Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours)

This program at the University of Adelaide equips you to diagnose and treat conditions across the full scope of speech pathology practice; speech and language, swallowing, fluency, voice and multimodal communication. 

Courses have an emphasis on inter-professional and culturally responsive practice, and the degree facilitates the development of transferrable skills through real-world learning experiences.

In over 800 hours of clinical-based training, you’ll have the opportunity to work with children and adults of all ages in public and private health, community, disability, education and aged-care settings. 

With many of the courses taught by certified practising speech pathologists, the degree places an emphasis on real-world experience. 

You’ll gain high-level knowledge and skills in:

  • head and neck anatomy and neurophysiology
  • speech and language development, linguistics and phonetics, motor speech, aphasia, cognition and swallowing
  • current public health and justice system topics
  • working with culturally and linguistically diverse populations, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities
  • evidence-based, person-centred care.

In addition, you’ll benefit from collaborative learning with key complementary disciplines: physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

 

Industry Placement

Students will be introduced to clinical placement in the third year of study and will be required to complete 800+ hours of clinical placement in a range of metropolitan and rural settings throughout the program.
