Overview

Key facts

Speech and language therapists provide treatment and support that improves patients’ lives. They address speech, language and communication problems as well as assisting with eating and drinking difficulties.
Much of their work involves close collaboration with teachers, psychologists and other health professionals, along with supporting patients themselves and/or their careers. Our work placements and work-based learning opportunities mean that you’ll be developing these collaborative professional skills throughout your degree course.
By joining us, you’ll study a range of topics including introduction to phonetics and phonology, communication disability and psychology, professional practice, and transition to the workplace. You’ll learn what’s involved in developing individual treatment programmes and providing patients with tailored support.

Graduates of the Speech and Language Therapy (Hons) BSc course at De Montfort University are highly sought-after by speech and language therapy providers, with previous students securing positions working for the NHS and private organisations, as well as in medical, educational and social care settings.
Speech and Language Therapy graduate Alison Fowler came to study at DMU after more than 20 years working as a teacher, so she could follow her dream of helping people who have had a brain injury or a stroke, or any condition that might affect their communication.
