Speech and Language Therapy

About this course

Speech and language therapy is a healthcare profession concerned with the assessment and treatment of communication disorders and difficulties with eating, drinking, and swallowing. It supports people of all ages, from young children with delayed speech development to adults recovering from stroke or living with degenerative neurological conditions. The work requires both scientific knowledge of how communication and swallowing work and the interpersonal sensitivity to support people at often difficult moments in their lives. At the University of Huddersfield this three-year full-time programme gives you a thorough grounding in the anatomy and physiology of speech and swallowing, linguistics, psychology, and the development of communication across the lifespan. You will study the range of conditions that speech and language therapists work with, including developmental language disorder
