Course overview

This graduate entry master (GEM) qualification for speech pathologists is an alternative to the Bachelor of Science (Speech Pathology) for those with a bachelor degree in another discipline.

Students will be introduced to theoretical, evidence-based material relevant for clinical practice and provide students with research skills required to become evidence based clinicians. Throughout the course, students will participate in supervised clinical education in a variety of contexts. This course in speech pathology will develop an integrated understanding of the science of human communication as well as the professional competencies for providing speech pathology services to people with communication and/or swallowing disorders. Speech pathologists provide specialist services for people with communication and/or swallowing problems.
