Practice Education

The undergraduate Clinical Education programme has been developed by the department, in association with the profession, to facilitate the integration of theory into practice and the development of professional skills and clinical competencies that will enable students to join the speech and language therapy profession. These pages have been created to provide practice educators and students with information on the clinical learning pathways that underlie the four year clinical education programme.
