Course Overview

The strong clinical focus of the course will help you make the transition to clinical practice. Indeed, the majority of our students find work in either speech and language therapy or a related field within 12 months of graduating. As a newly qualified speech and language therapist, you might be employed by the NHS and may work in a range of settings including hospitals, community clinics, or education. Some therapists also work in the criminal justice system and others are in private practice.
