Speech and Language Therapy
|
BSc Overview | Year 3 | Year 4 |
The understanding of speech and language therapy is central to the
course, since it is an academic degree that also leads to eligibility
to apply for registration as a speech and language therapist. The
degree is structured to facilitate students' ability to integrate
theory and practice The degree will provide students with the
analytical skills which they need to think critically about human
communication, its disorders and remediation, and the practice of
speech and language therapy. Students will be supported in integrating
theory and practice from the beginning of the course.
The course is designed to support students in taking responsibility for
their own learning. As undergraduates, students on the degree will be
encouraged to become independent learners, with appropriate knowledge
of study skills and information technology skills to allow them to
continue their own professional and intellectual development and
lifelong learning.
Students will be introduced to a wide and comprehensive range of speech
and language therapy processes and services. Through lectures,
workshops, tutorials and video work, students will gain understanding
and skills across the range of client groups and services that are
relevant to speech and language therapy. The Department works closely
with speech and language therapy services in London and the South-East
of England to provide an excellent range of clinical placements.
Professional skills are developed in a three-way relationship between
the student, the student's practice educator and clinical tutors from
the Department.
Although students will not be expected to come into contact with, or
personally work with, the entire range of speech and language therapy
clients during clinical placements, emphasis will be placed on peer
learning and the development of transferable clinical skills which they
will then be able to generalise and apply across any client group and
context. Practical work with student colleagues, in workshops, clinical
tutorials and clinical placements, will form a key component of
clinical learning.
