Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Clinical Audiology

The University of Western Australia is the only Australian university that offers a combined PhD and masters degree in audiology that can be completed over four years. Audiology is the clinical science involving the prevention, assessment and rehabilitation of hearing loss and associated communication disorders. The clinical audiology course is an intensive full-time program with tuition divided between intensive modules and clinical placements. The intensive modules require full-time attendance, equivalent to 40 hours per week, over their whole duration, which is usually seven weeks. Clinical placements are managed by the Clinical Coordinator, and students can expect to be placed in external audiology clinics for around 500 hours across the degree.
