The final two years focus on the development of advanced knowledge in speech pathology and clinical practice, which are used during clinical placements to treat patients in the community. The Honours program is available to high achieving students in the Bachelor of Speech Pathology. The Bachelor of Speech Pathology is a four-year full-time degree teaching you knowledge and skills in areas such as speech, voice, language and swallowing in children and adults.
