We require a good honours degree or an approved and relevant postgraduate qualification (minimum PGDip or equivalent - 120 credits at master's level) or relevant clinical experience (see 'Professional entry qualifications').

We also require written support from your current employer permitting time to attend lectures and complete all learning and assessment activities.

Students who have not studied in a predominantly English-speaking country are required to hold IELTS 6.5 or TOEFL 90.

Some English Language test results are only valid for two years. Your English Language test report must be valid on the start date of the course.

Applications are welcome from candidates with evidence of previous advanced study, research or professional experience (which the University accepts as qualifying you for entry) and a recognised health/education/social care-related professional qualification and/or employment in healthcare or education services.

Individuals applying via this route may also be required, upon application, to submit a short 500-word essay demonstrating your academic writing ability and critical thinking skills.

For entry in the academic year beginning September 2026, the tuition fees are as follows:

• Modular (part-time)
  UK students (per annum): £1,500 per 15 credits
  International, including EU, students (per annum): £3,700 per 15 credits

Further information for EU students can be found on our dedicated EU page.

The fees quoted above will be fully inclusive for the course tuition, administration and computational costs during your studies.

All fees for entry will be subject to yearly review and incremental rises per annum are also likely over the duration of courses lasting more than a year for UK/EU students (fees are typically fixed for International students, for the course duration at the year of entry). For general fees information please visit: postgraduate fees . Always contact the department if you are unsure which fee applies to your qualification award and method of attendance.

All students should normally be able to complete their programme of study without incurring additional study costs over and above the tuition fee for that programme. Any unavoidable additional compulsory costs totalling more than 1% of the annual home undergraduate fee per annum, regardless of whether the programme in question is undergraduate or postgraduate taught, will be made clear to you at the point of application. Further information can be found in the University's Policy on additional costs incurred by students on undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes (PDF document, 91KB).

These units are suitable for those wishing to return to higher education.

If you applied in the previous year and your application was not successful you may apply again. Your application will be considered against the standard course entry criteria for that year of entry. In your new application you should demonstrate how your application has improved. We may draw upon all information from your previous applications or any previous registrations at the University as a student when assessing your suitability for your chosen course.

All units carry 15 credits at master's level, except Effective Amplification for Infants and Children and Adult Auditory Rehabilitation and Management , which carry 30 credits.

Effective Amplification for Infants and Children is also offered as non-credit bearing.

On successful completion of each unit, students will be awarded a CPD certificate.
