Expert teaching

This course is led by members of the Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness (ManCAD), an internationally recognised multi-million-pound hearing research programme.

Many of the staff involved with our courses are actively involved in research (either scientific or pedagogical research).

Where possible, members of staff teach course units related to their research interests and are in a position to keep their teaching informed and up to date.

A large number of the teaching staff are also clinically trained audiologists, hearing therapists or hearing scientists.

Completing the Advanced Rehabilitation in Audiology CPD unit has dug deep into my rehabilitative skills and has opened my eyes to the bigger picture. I am so pleased with the skills I have gained and refined over the five days, and I look forward to applying them in practice and in my life. (Mash'aal Choudhary, Audiologist)

The Advanced Rehabilitation in Audiology unit was surprisingly self-revealing. I learnt a lot about myself that I can apply to both my personal and professional life. (Gladys Akinseye, MSc Advanced Audiology student)

I started the Advanced Rehabilitation in Audiology CPD course to improve my rehabilitative skills. I have learnt so much - not just on a professional level, but also on a personal level. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to develop their rehab skills. (Saima Latif, Audiologist)

Taking part in the Adult Aural Rehabilitation course has given me a real sense of self-awareness. It has emphasised the importance of counselling skills and how they can be applied and adapted in practice. I would highly recommend this thoroughly enjoyable course to anyone wishing to improve and aid their rehabilitation techniques. (Linda Piatkiewicz, Audiologist)

After a significant time since undertaking any formalised education, I decided to enrol on the Effective Amplification course to update my knowledge in this area. I have found it to be an excellent course that is well-presented using varied formats, and is highly relevant to my work as a paediatric audiologist. I believe my clinical practice is more considered as a result of attending this first rate course. (Cath Felthouse, Audiologist)

Effective Amplification for Infants and Children is a brilliant and challenging course to undertake. (Nasima Khatun, student, 2015/16)

Our Audiology short courses are well provided for in terms of high-quality laboratory equipment and facilities for the teaching of practical skills.

You will have access to these facilities outside of timetabled sessions to facilitate individual practice (with some limitation on procedures that carry certain risks - eg aural impression taking).

You will also able to access a range of library and IT facilities throughout the University.
