Audiology

Overview

Course Details

The first year of this Audiology MSc course offered by the University of Southampton, and the MSc Audiology with Clinical Placement degrees are identical. Your audiology training is divided into 2 semesters, with the last 4 months dedicated to your research project, at the end of which you will submit a thesis. 

For your research project you’ll bring together all the skills you’ve learnt on the course, and show in-depth knowledge of one or more of the subject areas studied. You should also exceed the existing standard of technical design and address a novel problem that requires the application of new research.

Your learning is informed by our Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR). The ISVR developed childhood hearing screening adopted by the NHS and recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Career Opportunities

We offer an exciting programme of activities to help you explore your career options and develop your employability skills. The highlight of the year is a student-led audiology careers event, organised by audiology student ‘employability ambassadors’ with support from the employability lead for audiology and our dedicated careers practitioner. The event provides an opportunity to network with a wide variety of employers including NHS, private sector, charitable sector, recruitment agencies, cochlear implant and hearing aid companies.
