The Minor in Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) is a joint Clinical Linguistics programme of the Linguistics Section (of the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics, Faculty of Humanities and Education) and the Faculty of Medical Sciences. It is designed to give undergraduate students the prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to enter any postgraduate speech-language pathology, audiology or speech, language and hearing science programme.<\/p>\n
IMPORTANT:<\/strong><\/em> The Minor and Certificate in SLP prepare candidates for a Master\u2019s programme. The Minor and Certificate do not qualify holders to practise as an SLP; a Master\u2019s degree is the only qualification that allows a candidate to practice as an SLP.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Why choose this Programme?” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” width_tablet=”100%” width_phone=”100%” width_last_edited=”on|desktop”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_divider color=”#dddddd” divider_weight=”1.5px” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Enrolled students will learn how to identify and support the people and families of those with a range of communication disorders.<\/p>\n The current Programme Coordinator is an executive member of several professional associations and the national regulatory body, namely, the Occupational Therapy and Speech-Language Therapy Board (OTSLP).
