Speech & Language CPD / Entry requirements

Year of entry: 2024

Academic entry qualification overview

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

If you are being funded by an employer, we also require written support from your current employer permitting time to attend lectures and complete all learning and assessment activities.

English language

Students who have not studied in a predominantly English-speaking country are required to hold IELTS 7.0, including 7.0 in the written section or TOEFL 100, including 25 in the written section.

English language test validity

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.

Professional entry qualification

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.
