"We have the enviable record of success at developing courses relevant to the needs of employers, industry and our students; and our foray into audiology is part of a natural progression and synergy between hearing and our other strengths in the delivery of vision related courses in optometry and ophthalmic dispensing."

"What makes this programme so attractive is that it is very much an industry driven course, developed with direct input from major employers in the hearing sector and fully recognized by the Hearing Aid Council. The course is designed to provide an excellent standard of training and tuition and to ensure that the student is a productive member of the audiology team early on in their studies.

"Another benefit of this degree is that it is helping people during the current recessionary conditions. People can develop their careers where they are without taking the risk of changing their jobs at a time when the climate is anything but stable."
