This is a professionally oriented course which seeks to attract graduates interested in acquiring knowledge and skills in the evaluation and management of auditory disorders - hearing loss and tinnitus - and their consequences. It offers a variety of innovative learning experiences, including extensive problem-based learning, laboratory classes and clinical placements.

The course aims to prepare the graduate for beginning clinical practice as an audiologist in a range of urban, rural and remote settings; to be a well-informed health professional; and to acquire critical skills in appraising scientific and clinical information which will assist their further professional development.

Students will be able to undertake clinical placements in Adelaide or interstate, including in rural and remote areas of South Australia or the Northern Territory.

The full program of study is set out in the Course rule and topic descriptions for this degree.

Entry requirements
Applicants normally must hold an approved degree from an approved tertiary institution, and typically have achieved a minimum of credit average. There is no preferred undergraduate degree for admission. However, the Faculty Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature. Admission will be based on the combined scores from a structured interview designed to assess personal characteristics considered desirable for a career as a health professional and the applicant's weighted Grade Point Average of their previous degree.
