Career pathways

Job prospects in audiology are good and likely to continue so given the current extensive modernisation. To qualify as a non-medical audiologist in the UK students must take one of two routes, both of which are NHS-funded.

  • A four-year BSc in audiology, including a clinical training year
  • A postgraduate MSc or diploma in audiology followed by a clinical training period, for those with a first degree in a relevant science subject
These entry routes lead to state registration by the relevant bodies for clinical physiologists and clinical scientists.

"I originally studied for a BSc degree in Neuroscience. As part of my degree I learnt about the auditory system and found it really interesting."

"The MSc in Audiology was a well-rounded course with a good balance between theory and hands-on practicals."
