Careers Speech and Language Sciences careers
Most speech and language therapist graduates become employed by the NHS to work in hospitals, clinics, paediatric assessment centres, adult rehabilitation centres or in the community. Speech and language therapists usually work as part of a multidisciplinary team, alongside other health professionals such as doctors, nurses, psychologists, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. They may also liaise with professionals in education and the social services.
Once you qualify, you can specialise in a particular area of speech and language therapy, for example, with children or adults or with a particular type of impairment.
If you wish to work with language-disordered children in a classroom setting, you may want to take a one-year teaching qualification (PGCE) after your degree.
A number of our graduates have also taken up research posts. A good Honours degree is, however, far more than just a professional training and, like all other graduates, our students have a wide range of opportunities open to them at the end of their degree programme.
