Audiology: combine science, technology and patient care to improve quality of life

Audiology is the healthcare science of hearing loss, tinnitus and balance disorders, using science and state-of-the-art technology to help people overcome the barriers arising as a consequence of these problems. Audiologists are autonomous professionals, responsible for their own caseloads, who work in multidisciplinary teams to provide services to help evaluate, diagnose and manage a diverse range of conditions. Audiology is an exciting, challenging and rewarding profession where you can combine your passion for science with your strong communication and problem-solving skills to make a difference. 

At Southampton, our aim is to develop the future leaders of audiology. We are an internationally renowned centre of excellence for teaching BSc Audiology with near 100% graduate-employment rates.
