Course outline

The Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Honours) prepares students to help people of all ages with speech, language, fluency and voice disorders, people who have feeding or swallowing difficulties, and people who want to modify their accents or voices. Students learn about anatomy, linguistics, physiology, psychology, swallowing and communication disorders in the areas of voice, fluency, hearing, speech, and language function. Students will engage in a variety of simulation-based learning experiences, including within UQ’s 6-bed simulation ward, to enable them to apply their theory and practice in a safe learning environment. Students also complete supervised placements throughout this program in settings such as hospitals, schools, disability organisations, healthcare facilities, private practices, and UQ’s Speech Pathology and Telerehabilitation clinics. For more information, visit Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons) at UQ.
