BSpHLSc

2017 Bachelor of Speech, Hearing and

Language Sciences

The Bachelor of Speech, Hearing and Language Sciences provides students with an in-depth introduction to wide
range of skills and knowledge that can form the basis for future studies and training in Linguistics, Speech and
Language Pathology, Audiology, teaching English language to adult learners or editing and publishing, or to research
in a wide range of related fields. Students will study in an environment that provides access to one of the best
equipped research and clinical environments in the world for speech, hearing, language and cognitive science. They
will learn how to analyse languages, to understand what differentiates the worlds' languages and what they have in
common. From both technical (e.g. phonetics and syntax) and sociocultural perspectives, they will learn how human
speech works and how we produce, perceive and understand spoken language. They will also learn about speech and
language and their disorders, or hearing and its disorders.
