What you'll learn

Speech pathologists work with a wide range of people across different settings and manage complex and difficult issues. Communication and swallowing difficulties can occur from a variety of reasons, which include but not limited to development disabilities, delays or disorders, illness, accident, or similar.

In this degree you'll gain the knowledge required to engage in professional, ethical, and evidence-based practice. This involves drawing on skills in reasoning and reflection to provide appropriate services for people across their entire lifespan.

In your first year, you’ll develop foundational knowledge in the areas of anatomy, physiology and biopsychosocial issues that can affect people’s health, swallowing, speech, and language ability.
