Overview

The Division of Audiology from University of Cape Town  invites enquiries from prospective students wishing to carry out research in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders.

Overview

• Your closest link to the Programme is with your primary research supervisor, and you will design a research plan with them, which will include how often you should meet.  Staff have experience in managing ‘distance learning’ and so location in Cape Town is not necessary.  In your first year of study, you are advised to join the Orientation Programme which occurs during the first quarter of the academic year.  Other opportunities for interaction with staff and peers include activities such as Writing Workshops and meetings with group/year cohorts which are held periodically.
• Our aim is to prepare leaders for the future. UCT therefore takes a holistic view of student development, ensuring that you will receive education that goes beyond the classroom curriculum There are many opportunities to develop your leadership skills; participation in the different clubs and societies on campus, as well as engaging in residence committees and student governance in the form of the Student Representative Council and Student Parliament. We also place great importance on social engagement and community service through student-led initiatives such as the Students' Health and Welfare Centres Organisation (SHAWCO), which runs a suite of programmes in disadvantaged communities around the Western Cape.
