MSc Audiology and MSc Audiology (with Clinical Placement)

Year 1

The first 8 months are normally spent mainly on the taught component, with lectures divided into two 12-week periods (Semesters 1 and 2), and with exams at the end of each semester. The modules are listed below. The final 4 months are spent full-time on a research project, for which some preparation is done in Semester 2. You are encouraged to commence project work before the Semester 2 exams to allow yourself maximum time, especially where practical work is involved.
