Why study Speech Pathology at Flinders?

The Departments of Speech Pathology and Audiology of Flinders University and Flinders Medical Centre have amalgamated to provide clinical services, teaching and research. This is unique in Australia and allows us to provide students with an outstanding learning environment. Students are able to visit patients in the medical wards, as well as participate in many of the services offered by the hospital.

 The Master of Speech Pathology program course involves an innovative, enquiry based curriculum, incorporating a PBL (Problem Based Learning) format. Learning experiences will be accessible both on and off campus, providing opportunities to integrate theory with clinical practice.  Students will undertake a number of clinical placements across the course which will ensure they reach the competencies required to practise in Australia and many other countries in the world. These will be offered in metropolitan Adelaide as well as rural and remote areas, including Darwin and Alice Springs with the possibility of international placements.
