Speech and language therapists work alongside children and adults who have speech, language and communication differences and eating, drinking, and swallowing difficulties. Through holistic assessment and management, speech and language therapists collaborate with the individual, their family and/or carer to provide person-centred care that encompasses health, wellbeing, participation, and quality of life.

 

Speech and Language Therapy BSc(Hons) at the University of Huddersfield utilises clinician, academic and service-user input within our teaching and research. This course has been co-developed by practising speech and language therapists with extensive clinical experience and service-users and carers, who are part of the University's Public Partnership Group (PPG). The PPG will continue to be involved in developing your clinical and professional capabilities, through planning and assisting with teaching and learning sessions.

 

You'll put your clinical and professional capabilities to the test, including eating, drinking and swallowing competencies with various age groups and a variety of settings, through practice-based learning.
