Hearing Sciences (Top-Up) - BSc (Hons)

Convert your foundation degree qualification (or equivalent) to a full BSc (Hons) in Hearing Science, with our one-year British Society in Hearing Aid Audiology-accredited course.

Endorsed and accredited by the British Society in Hearing Aid Audiology (BSHAA), our course is delivered through a blend of online learning and residential sessions to give you a flexible, practical and career-enhancing learning experience. As a guide, we suggest you plan for five to seven hours of online study per week when you're not attending a residential.

As well as completing an undergraduate major project, you'll learn about:

• tinnitus assessment and management
• managing people with specialist needs
• implantable hearing devices
• hearing in children
• advances in adult audiology.

You'll study using our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), and there are also seven three-or-four-day residential weeks between September and April. (For part-time students, these sessions will be spread over two academic years.) You will attend both class and lab-based taught sessions with fellow students, and engage in student-led discussions and practical assignments.

We'll confirm the dates of residential sessions as soon as we can, so that you can plan around your work and book your accommodation in advance.

Please note that this course doesn't currently provide a direct route to the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists (RCCP). However, you can pursue an alternative pathway to registration after qualification.
