Speech and Hearing Sciences

Program Description

This exciting and intensive four-year full-time programme offers students a solid theoretical background in normal human communication and its disorders as well as in related disciplines such as medicine, psychology, English and Cantonese linguistics and the hearing sciences. In the final year students are required to complete a research dissertation and follow optional studies of specific interest. During the course they are also required to complete over 400 hours of supervised clinical practicum in the Division of Speech & Hearing Sciences' own clinics, and in schools, hospitals and specialist settings throughout Hong Kong.
A strong emphasis is placed on students' ability to integrate theory and clinical practice, and on their development of the necessary interpersonal and basic research skills.
