FdSc Hearing Aid Audiology

The course is delivered by blended learning with residential block weeks on campus where you will participate in lectures, workshops, seminars and practicals. There will be either two or three residential blocks per semester. In between the residential blocks, all of the learning is online combined with learning in your workplace.

You'll gain a solid foundation in auditory science, anatomy, physiology and pathology. With a strong focus on adult auditory assessment as well as the technology, fitting and verification of hearing aids. You'll also learn strategies and holistic approaches towards providing effective patient-centred rehabilitation. You’ll also develop knowledge and understanding of the codes of conduct, standards and ethics for Hearing Aid Dispensers.

Work-based learning plays a fundamental part in this two-year programme. A large part of your practical learning and teaching will take place within your workplace supported by a Practice Educator. You’ll also take part in practical sessions during your residential blocks at the University.

Please note this course is only available to UK students.
