Course Overview

This programme, also known as course, comprises of two pathways: the clinical (Audiology) and non-clinical (Hearing Science) pathways. All students enrol on the clinical pathway. Both pathways are associated with several exit awards and each exit award is associated with a set of programme learning outcomes that indicate what you must demonstrate in order to achieve that award. The programme is modular meaning that the learning and assessment is organised by modules, and the programme learning outcomes are addressed via the module learning outcomes. This document will explain how these various elements are connected and mapped to each other in order to form the two pathways and the overall programme.
The clinical pathway, leading to the awards MSci and BSc (Hons) Audiology, is primarily designed to provide the basic academic, technical, clinical, professional and employability training required for graduates to register in the UK to work as audiology healthcare professionals. The MSci programme has been designed to extend that to meet the needs of health services nationally and internationally that are growing their audiology services and need highly trained audiologists to take leading roles. Parts 1, 2 and 3 all include clinical placements in audiology. Part 1 includes three one-week taster placements; the summer of Part 2 and Semester 1 of Part 3 consists of one continuous block within which you must complete at least 27 weeks on placement; Semester 2 of Part 3 includes several 1-3-day clinic visits. The Terms of Placement are available on the Audiology Placement website.
On successfully completing Part 1 you will be able to register with the British Society of Hearing Aid Audiologists as a Hearing Care Assistant and apply for assistant audiology roles within healthcare services. This gives you the opportunity ‘earn and learn’ during your degree (e.g. during vacations), to accelerate your clinical experience and to enter the profession if you exit the programme after Part 1 but before completing Part 3. On successfully completing Part 3 (or Part 4) of the clinical pathway you will be able to register with Health and Care Professions Council as a Hearing Aid Dispenser and with Academy of Health Care Science (AHCS) as a Healthcare Science Practitioner (audiology). (Note that the Registration Council for Clinical Physiologists has recently merged with the AHCS.)
The non-clinical pathway, leading to the awards MSci, BSc (Hons) and BSc (ordinary) Hearing Science is intended for students who do not wish to pursue, or are unsuccessful with, the main clinical placement in Parts 2 and 3. You can transfer from the clinical to the non-clinical pathway at any time; you cannot transfer from the non-clinical to the clinical pathway.
Part 4 is optional to both pathways and allows you to study towards the MSci. You can either apply for the MSci at the outset or transfer to the MSci once you have met the Faculty requirements for Part 2 of the MSci, if permitted by visa restrictions and in accordance with visa processes for international students. You can transfer from the BSc to the MSci at any time, again if permitted by visa restrictions and in accordance with visa processes for international students.
Part 1 must be taken full time. Parts 2, 3 or 4 can be taken full-time or part-time, if permitted by visa restrictions and in accordance with visa processes for international students. If taken part-time, you will undertake the whole of Semester 1 in one year and the whole of Semester 2 the following year (i.e. you cannot take the modules within one semester across two years). The option of part-time is intended to provide you with the opportunity to ‘earn and learn’ during your studies, especially since you will be able to apply for at least assistant audiologist roles having successfully completed Part 1. The rules and restrictions for part-time study are provided in the section on programme structure.
Our audiology programme is strongly research-led and patient/family-centred. You will learn within a community of people who are actively engaged in, and passionate about, research, evidence-based practice and patient/family-centred practice in audiology. Our culture values and promotes curiosity, creativity, questioning and compassion. Furthermore, you will learn from people who are actively engaged in research and/or clinical practice in audiology. Your education will therefore be infused by research, debate, enquiry, reason and reflection. As a student here, you will be a central part of our community and engage in those activities throughout the programme.
As a research-led University, we undertake a continuous review of our programmes to ensure your education stays relevant, to enhance the quality of our teaching and to manage our resources. As a result, our audiology programme may be revised during your period of registration. Any revision will be balanced against the requirement that you should receive the education you expected. Please read our Disclaimer to see why, when and how changes may be made to your programme.
Programmes and major changes to programmes are approved through the University’s programme validation process, which is described in the University’s Quality Handbook.
To meet professional expectations, the maximum duration for these programmes is the standard length of the programme plus 2 years, inclusive of any period of suspension or repeat. Should the student fail to complete their programme within that time, their candidature will be terminated with an exit award commensurate with the credit attained. In exceptional circumstances, and with permission of the Deputy Head of School (Education) or delegate, a student may be permitted up to a maximum of one additional year to complete the programme.

Aims of the Course

The overarching goal of the programme is to develop you as a future, global leader of audiology by inspiring, challenging and supporting you to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and behaviours to be distinctive, successful and a life-long learner. We use a variety of learning activities to promote effective learning, depending on the task to be learnt or learning outcome to be achieved.
The clinical pathway aims to prepare you for careers in audiology and related professions, teaching, and research. For UK students, the clinical pathway specifically aims to meet your academic and clinical training needs to enable you to apply for registration as a Clinical Physiologist (Audiologist) with the RCCP, as a Healthcare Science Practitioner with the Academy for Healthcare Science (AHCS) and as a Hearing Aid Dispenser with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC). The clinical pathway has not been designed to meet the registration/licensing requirements of countries beyond the UK.
The non-clinical pathway aims to prepare you for a wide-range of non-clinical health, audio, science, teaching and research professions as well as for post-graduate-entry clinical training in a range of disciplines.
Both pathways also aim to remain broad-based enough to enable graduates to enter a variety of careers or post-graduate education in a variety of disciplines unrelated to audiology and healthcare.
Additional aims of both pathways are to:
•Provide you with many, diverse opportunities to develop yourself as a person, a professional, a member of a team and a member of the global society.
•Provide you with a dynamic research-led environment within which to inspire you to develop a love, and the skills, for life-long curiosity, scepticism and learning.
•Encourage you to hold high aspirations for your contribution to society and to hold high standards of scientific, professional and personal ethics and conduct.
•Enable you to develop a robust base of knowledge and understanding of audiology, hearing science and the wider healthcare context.
•Enable you to develop a wide range of intellectual, communication and collaborative working skills and other skills transferable to many careers and professions. For example, skills in finding and evaluating information and reflecting on your experiences and behaviours.

Course Structure

The tables below provide a list of the modules that make up your course.

Each module is worth a specified number of credits: you can take a combination of core and compulsory modules enabling you to cover key subject knowledge. Some courses have option modules which enable you to develop your own interests.

Each level of your programme requires a certain number of credits. The number of option modules you can take depends on the number of core modules at a given level and this is also influenced by the requirements of the regulatory requirements for professionally accredited courses. Some courses also have pre and co-requisites, and these are included in individual module information.

Your learning will be led by the latest research, and modules can change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline. You can always find the most up-to-date information about your modules and who is teaching them via the information on our webpages and, post enrolment, via the Faculty hub.

If we have insufficient numbers of students interested in an option module, it may not be offered. If an option module will not be run, we will advise you as soon as possible and help you choose an alternative module.

The core and compulsory modules available on your course are as follows:

Audiology Pathway
Part I Part 1 will provide you with an immersive introduction to audiology, the biopsychosocial and technical foundations of audiology and the broader scientific, technical, healthcare and professional context. A module providing an introduction to professional practice will involve learning alongside students from a range of other healthcare disciplines to help you understand the wider context of health and care services and professional expectations. There will be a series of sessions on academic study skills running through Part 1, embedded within two of the academic modules. These will help you to make the transition to university study in a scientific discipline, to understand the British higher education system and associated expectations, and to develop your general academic skills. Part 1 includes three ‘taster’ placements, lasting one week each, in audiology. These placements are compulsory and arranged by us. We will make all reasonable efforts to source placements although cannot guarantee them. See Terms of Placements including arrangements in the unlikely event that it is not possible to source placements. Also during Part 1, we will help you prepare for the selection and allocation process for your main clinical placement. Once you have successfully progressed from Part 1, the selection and allocation process for your main clinical placement will begin. As all modules have been designated Core in order to meet the stipulations of Professional, Statutory and Regulatory Bodies, referral is allowed in failed modules in Part 1 totalling at most 30 ECTS (60 CATS).

Part II Part 2 will extend your clinical, scientific and professional development in audiology as well as broadening your perspectives beyond audiology with two optional modules from the list below. You will select your optional modules during Semester 2 of Part 1, with guidance from your Personal Academic Tutor. The main clinical placement runs between the end of semester 2 in part 2 to the start of semester two Part 3 (i.e. across the summer after finishing Part 2 and during the Christmas University closure period). IN this period you must complete at least 27 weeks on placement. In order to complete the clinical pathway, this placement is compulsory. We will make all reasonable efforts to source you a placement although cannot guarantee it. See the Audiology Placement Website for the Terms of Placements including why we cannot guarantee it and what your options would be in the unlikely event of us not being able to source you a placement. The placement is organised and overseen by us. The selection and allocation process allows you to indicate your preferred placement centres and requires you to demonstrate your suitability for placement with them. We will thoroughly prepare you throughout Parts 1 and 2 for the selection and allocation process, for starting your clinical placement and for getting the most out of your clinical placement. At the end of your placement, you will be assessed on placement with patients. As not all Part 2 modules are designated Core, referral is still only allowed in failed modules totalling at most 15 ECTS (30 CATS) as per standard university policy.

Learning and Teaching

Your overall workload consists of class contact hours, independent learning, and assessment activity, with each ECTS credit taken equivalent to 20 hours of student effort. While your actual contact hours may depend on the option modules you select, the information available on our webpages give an indication of how much time you will need to allocate to different activities.

When not attending lectures, seminars and other timetabled sessions you will be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. Typically, this will involve reading journal articles and books, working on individual and group projects, undertaking research in the library, preparing coursework assignments and presentations, and for other types of assessments and examinations.

Full information about contact hours is provided in individual module information.

Should you wish to revisit this following enrolment, these indications have been located in a permanent resource. This can be accessed at any time via the link below:

https://sotonac.sharepoint.com/teams/CourseSupplementaryInformation/SitePages/Study-Time.aspx

How we'll assess you

Summative assessment(s) usually take place at the end of each module, although some may have interim assessments throughout. Assessment methods might include written examinations and a range of coursework assessments such as essays, reports, portfolios, performance, presentations and projects for example. The marks from summative assessments count towards your module mark.

Each module normally contains at least one piece of practice or formative assessment for which you receive feedback. Formative assessments are developmental and any results do not count towards your module mark, but they are an important part of your learning.

The information available on our website gives an indication of the assessment methods used on your course, at each level of your course.

Should you wish to revisit this following enrolment, these indications have been located in a permanent resource. This can be accessed at any time via the link below: https://sotonac.sharepoint.com/teams/CourseSupplementaryInformation/SitePages/Assessment.aspx

Staff involved in delivering the different elements of the course

You will be taught by an experienced teaching team whose expertise and knowledge are closely matched to the content of the modules on your course. The team includes senior academics, professional practitioners, specialists with industry experience, demonstrators and technical officers.

Postgraduate research students who have undertaken appropriate training may also contribute to the teaching of seminars if their research specialism is directly related to the topic of the module and may also be involved in practical classes, project work and field trips. All contributions will be carried out under the supervision of the module leader.
