BSc Audiology:
Placements

 

 

 

The BSc Audiology degree is a 4 year full time programme which enables graduates to work as qualified Audiologists in the
National Health Service. As well as the academic and practical sessions undertaken in the classroom, students from all years
visit Audiology centres throughout the South of England to gain further knowledge and hands on experience.

 

 

   
    During Year 1 and 2,
students visit local centres on half-day placements to observe appointments and interact with patients.

    During Year 3, students spend 11 months in paid clinical placements, at two Audiology centres, allowing
       them to put their academic and clinical skills into practice
under professional supervision.
       Students
will experience a variety of clinics such as Paediatrics, Vestibular Rehabilitation and Adult
       Rehabilitation and their progress will be recorded in an online Logbook, which will form part of their
       Professional Development Portfolio. A member of University staff will also visit students for monitoring,
       academic guidance and independent assessment.

       Our current placement centres are spread as far and wide as Canterbury, Milton Keynes and Bournemouth, and
       the
placements are arranged for students by the University. Before students go on placement, we will give
       them guidance on what to expect in the placement centre, their role during the placement year, accommodation and salaries.

       During Year 4,students will return to the University and continue their academic study. They participate clinical practical supervision
       of junior BSc students, report back on their placement experiences through marked case presentations and possibly exploring further
       any areas of audiology that interested them on placement, for their research projects.
