BSc (Hons) Speech and Language Pathology

Speech and language therapists assess and treat a wide variety of speech, language and communication problems. Our course, which provides a route into this profession, is the longest established in Scotland and one of the oldest in the UK. You'll have access to a speech research laboratory facility which houses equipment designed for the recording and analysis of speech. Specific software allows the investigation of many aspects of speech, in particular, voice and prosody. The speech lab also provides a course-specific study space with access to clinical intervention materials. The lab supports our clinical speech and language research staff with interests in prosody, bilingualism, developmental phonology, motor speech disorders, sociophonetics, articulation in Down's syndrome and voice disorders. In addition to fundamental research into the nature and management of speech disorders, investigations focus on the validation of new phonetic measurement techniques for clinical use. We have close links with Glasgow Dental School, the English Language Department at Glasgow University and practitioners within the NHS.
