Gain the knowledge, clinical skills and confidence you need to deliver life-changing care for people with communication difficulties.
The three-year speech and language therapy degree at the University of Sheffield is designed and delivered by qualified speech and language therapists, researchers and clinicians.
Our experienced teaching team is dedicated to turning you into one of the next generation of experts – showing you how to assess, diagnose and support children and adults who have difficulties with communication, or eating, drinking and swallowing.
Throughout your degree, you’ll study linguistics, psychology and speech pathology, and assimilate the medical knowledge that supports these areas. You’ll explore how sociology and social psychology impact therapy.
As your understanding grows, you’ll explore how therapists can support people who have suffered a stroke, have learning disabilities, speech sounds disorders or autism.
The skills you gain at Sheffield will provide you with an excellent foundation to specialise in any of these areas, and the research skills that are essential to providing evidence-based healthcare.
This course is approved and accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
Our curriculum is informed by the QAA benchmarks for speech and language therapy, the RCSLT curriculum guidelines and the HCPC standards of proficiency and standards of education and training for speech and language therapists.
