Our graduates go on to some amazing things

Career prospects for Southampton graduates are excellent, and demand is high.

Most BSc and Postgraduate Diploma graduates have pursued careers in NHS audiology departments around the UK. Graduates have also progressed to further study, such as our MSc in Audiology, PhDs in hearing science and audiology at Southampton and at Oxford and Cambridge Universities, as well as fast-track degrees in medicine and further education in other forms of healthcare.

A recent survey of our MSc graduates showed that the vast majority have successfully secured appropriate training posts or jobs in audiology, and this trend is set to continue. Since 1972, Southampton graduates have gone on to make some of the most important and innovative contributions to audiology and health care, both nationally and internationally.

The view of a graduate

‘I completed the MSc in audiology at the University of Southampton in 2000. I then trained at various hospitals, which gave me the opportunity to work in a variety of areas of audiology, including adult auditory rehabilitation, paediatrics and vestibular rehabilitation.

I now work in Winchester where I head up the vestibular service and supervise trainees. I continue to find audiology an exciting, varied and rewarding area in which to work.’

The view of an employer

‘Our Audiology Service has recently appointed two ISVR graduates, one from the BSc and one from the MSc. Both have excellent underpinning and working knowledge of audiology. Their education and training has equipped them to start work immediately and function effectively as audiologists.

I am sure they will achieve much in their chosen field of audiology, and they are a credit to ISVR.’
