O que eu aprenderei?

Become equipped to improve your future clients’ quality of life by assessing, diagnosing and managing communication and swallowing difficulties and differences. Learn about speech pathology theory and practice as well as anatomy, linguistics, psychology, medicine, education and communication.

Speech pathologists are autonomous professionals who support every individual’s right to optimal communication and swallowing. The broad scope of your speech pathology studies will prepare you to take a holistic approach to healthcare and make a difference to those who need it most. Areas that underpin speech pathology practice include communication sciences, health care and allied health, education, social justice, biomedical sciences, physical sciences and even performances such as sport and singing. All of these areas extend your career opportunities by allowing you to work in many different fields.

JCU’s Bachelor of Speech Pathology is accredited by Speech Pathology Australia, the federally recognised professional body representing speech pathologists in Australia. Completing JCU’s Bachelor of Speech Pathology is equivalent to registration and graduates are eligible for Practising Membership with Speech Pathology Australia. Your qualifications are recognised in many countries and a limited Mutual Recognition Agreement exists with the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand.

In the Bachelor of Speech Pathology, you’ll study an advanced body of theoretical knowledge and technical competencies that are applicable to diverse contexts. You will explore subjects including anatomy and physiology relevant to speech pathology, linguistics and phonology, psychology, lifespan development, and different types of speech and language impairments. You will develop an in-depth understanding of the speech chain at a linguistic, physiological and acoustic level as you study how communication develops through the ears, the lips, the teeth, the nasal cavity, the brain, the sensory and motor nerves and the vocal muscles.

Go behind-the-scenes of health care as you study the Australian healthcare system, the epidemiological patterns of the Australian population, and the factors and decisions that influence health service activity. Your combined knowledge of speech pathology practice and healthcare systems will equip you to make a difference to your future clients at both a personal and systemic level. JCU Speech Pathology emphasises health promotion, particularly in remote and Indigenous communities, and will train you to think and work holistically as you incorporate the ‘bigger picture’ of your client’s health and lifestyle into your professional practice.
