| Entry requirements | *IELTS: 8.0 overall with no element less than 7.5 Normally a good undergraduate honours degree (a good 2.1 or above), or equivalent from a university outside the UK, in a related field such as linguistics, psychology, medical sciences or education. Other degree subjects will be considered on a case by case basis. All applicants must have been awarded their undergraduate degree before applying. Evidence of recent study is normally required if the first degree or a subsequent post graduate degree was completed more than five years ago, such as a relevant undergraduate or Masters module, Access course or relevant CPD qualifications, or in some cases we may ask you to complete an assignment as part of the short-listing process. You must have completed your undergraduate degree and it must have been awarded by the application deadline (applicants who do not have their final degree because of the Marking and Assessment Boycott are encouraged to contact us before submitting their application). Direct, ongoing experience of working with clients with communication difficulties (ideally a range of client groups) is essential. Experience of working with adults and children is advantageous. Candidates need to demonstrate a good understanding of the role of a speech and language therapist and have some work experience of speech and language therapy. The application process includes an interview. Due to the popularity of our MSc Speech and Language Therapy, and the restricted numbers we are able to accept, we recommend applying as early as possible to avoid disappointment. We must have received at least one reference before the application deadline. Please make sure you allow enough time for your referee to submit their reference before the deadline. In order to guarantee consideration for entry in September 2024, a complete application must be received by midnight 31 January 2024. |
