Overview

The Master of Clinical Audiology and Doctor of Philosophy course from The University of Western Australia is an intensive full-time programme with tuition divided between intensive modules and clinical placements. The intensive modules require full-time attendance, equivalent to 40 hours per week, over their whole duration, which is usually seven weeks. Clinical placements are managed by the Clinical Coordinator, and students can expect to be placed in external audiology clinics for around 500 hours across the degree.

Career Pathways

Many audiologists are involved in research, helping to develop new behavioural and electrophysiological test techniques, cochlear implants, hearing aids and hearing health therapies.

Some audiologists work in community and workplace settings including programmes aimed at reducing the prevalence and impact of middle ear disease in rural and remote aboriginal communities, newborn hearing screening programmes and hearing conservation programmes in industry.

Employment prospects for Audiologists who graduate from UWA are excellent, both within Australia and overseas.

Accreditation

The Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Clinical Audiology is accredited by Audiology Australia. After completing their studies graduates are eligible to be an Audiology Australia member and undertake a one-year clinical internship.

Once the Audiology Australia clinical internship has been successfully completed they become an Accredited Audiologist.
