Why study Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Pass)?

The students graduating from the program will be competent clinicians at a generalist level, able to undertake a position in various work settings. In addition, they will have a commitment to their profession. The graduates of the program will be competent in basic clinical administration but will initially require support, especially in an unsupervised sole position. During the program, the students will develop into independent learners who are prepared to meet the changing role of the profession by being life-long learners, who approach new knowledge through the application of problem-solving models and the scientific method.

Honours is "on-course" in Years 3 and 4, and replaces courses undertaken by students in the pass degree. Offers to Honours are made by the School to eligible candidates.
