Overview

Speech and language therapists work with people of all ages who experience communication and swallowing difficulties, enabling them to maximize their independence in their social, academic and working lives. Successful completion of this University of Essex course leads to eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a speech and language therapist; this is essential to register and work as a speech and language therapist. This is a two-year fast-track programme for graduates with a related degree (psychology; language and linguistics; social science; biological sciences; medical sciences or equivalent). It is a client-focused programme which uses a wide range of teaching methods, including inquiry-based learning to integrate theory and clinical practice. Students will undertake practice education placements with speech and language therapists and members of the multi professional teams in which Essex works. This course is continuously developed to reflect contemporary health, education and social care practice. A wide range of stakeholders continue to be involved, in order to ensure that changes in speech and language therapy practice are incorporated in the programme. In order to prepare students for the workplace, opportunities are provided in practice placements, where students work with speech and language therapists and their teams in a wide variety of settings. This workplace learning provides essential practical experience of working with service users with communication and swallowing problems. Essex currently has graduates working in clinical, management and education positions in local Trusts, Hospitals, Schools, care organizations, and Higher Education Intuitions. Speech and language therapists are employed in a wide variety of contexts including the NHS, education and health and social care.
