Our accredited speech and language therapy course combines clinical practice and theoretical knowledge with case-based learning, preparing you for a rewarding career supporting people with communication or swallowing difficulties.
Study at Sheffield and gain the expertise and confidence you need to deliver life-changing care as a qualified speech and language therapist.
This three-year programme is designed and delivered by experienced speech and language therapists, clinicians and researchers, who are committed to your wellbeing and success.
You will learn how to assess, diagnose and support children and adults with a range of communication, or eating, drinking and swallowing difficulties.
Study topics include linguistics, psychology and speech pathology, and the medical knowledge that supports these areas. You’ll also explore how sociology and social psychology impact therapy. As your understanding grows, you’ll discover how therapists can support a range of needs, including aphasia, learning disabilities, speech sounds disorders or dysphagia (swallowing difficulties).
The skills you gain at Sheffield will provide you with an excellent foundation to specialise in your future practice and provide evidence-based care.
Accreditation
This course is approved and accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
Our curriculum is informed by the QAA benchmarks for speech and language therapy, the RCSLT curriculum guidelines and the HCPC standards of proficiency and standards of education and training for speech and language therapists.
Speech and language therapy with a foundation year

Speech and language therapy apprenticeship
