About Speech and Hearing Sciences, BSc - at The University of Hong Kong

Programme Aims and Features

The Faculty of Education offers a Bachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Sciences five-year honours degree course. This course prepares students for professional practice in speech therapy.

This intensive full-time programme offers students a solid theoretical background in normal human communication and swallowing, and their disorders. Courses cover subject knowledge in related disciplines of medicine, psychology, English and Cantonese linguistics and hearing sciences. The curriculum employs a student-centred, “translational learning” approach. Students will be engaged in lectures, self-directed learning, case-based learning, small group learning, and clinical practice. In the final year, students will be required to complete a research dissertation. The curriculum will provide many opportunities for students to apply theory to practice and become a competent and adaptive speech therapist upon completion of their five-year courses.

Practical experience constitutes a large part of the curriculum. During the course, students are required to complete over 400 hours of supervised clinical practicum. The clinical programme is conducted predominately in Cantonese. This programme therefore offers students a unique bilingual education and training.

Students may have opportunities to engage in interdisciplinary and international service learning abroad.
