Putting people with communication difficulties at ease lies at the heart of this course, but practice and theory are just as important. You'll study psychology, linguistics and phonetics, and gain a critical understanding of communication and other speech and language disorders.
Our degree in speech and language therapy is designed to provide students with the skills they need to successfully start their career. This course is run in collaboration with Canterbury Christ Church University.
