New integrated Master's programme in audiology at Southampton

摘要

The University of Southampton has launched a new integrated Master's programme in audiology - the first of its kind in the UK. The new course will offer students the opportunity to complete their undergraduate and Master's level audiology training in a single programme, to qualify with an MSci Healthcare Science (Audiology). The MSci is an undergraduate-entry programme involving four years of full-time study. The first three years are identical to the existing BSc Healthcare Science (Audiology) programme at Southampton and includes 40 weeks of clinical placement. The additional fourth year will extend students' knowledge, scientific, cognitive and leadership skills in research, clinical decisionmaking and specific clinical areas of audiology. A part-time option for the final Master's level year will also be available for students who wish to start working in audiology at the end of the third year. Students already studying the BSc can to transfer onto the MSci, visa permitting for international students.
