Overview

Speech and language therapists work with people of all ages who experience communication and swallowing difficulties, enabling them to maximise their independence in their social, academic and working lives. Successful completion of our Speech and Language Therapy degree offered by University of Essex leads to eligibility to apply for registration with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a speech and language therapist.

You future
