The field of speech therapy focusses on the assessment and treatment of speech and language disorders. It is a valued and highly rewarding career path that involves a lot of client communication, creating personalised treatment plans and implementing therapeutic interventions. The role often involves collaborating with other healthcare professionals, educators and family members and the results have a huge impact on the client’s wellbeing, as well as the wellbeing of their families.
There are 16 universities in the UK which offer this course and 21 different courses among them. This is due to the various specialisms available at master’s degree level, such as forensic speed science, developmental psychology and language and acquired communication disorders. An upper second-class honours undergraduate degree is usually required to gain entry to a course.
A speech therapy master’s degree covers areas such as phonetics, language development, language pathology and bilingualism. Other areas of specialism include developmental and acquired speech, language and communication disorders, fluency disorders, aphasia, dementia and autism spectrum disorders. Expect a considerable amount of clinical practice, allowing you to build relationships with clients and build their confidence. Treatment is often a gradual process and consistency is important. Assessment methods can include supervised clinical placements, examinations and written essays on subjects of your choosing.
Graduates are prepared for roles as speech therapists, language pathologists and communication specialists, contributing to the improvement of communication skills and quality of life for individuals with speech disorders. Accredited by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) in the UK, this programme ensures graduates meet high professional standards in speech therapy.
