Programme Regulations

●       A student will attend a minimum of 150 (one hundred and fifty) sessions of Clinical Practice.  A minimum of 100 (one hundred) of which will be under the direct supervision of a qualified speech and language therapist and reflect diversity of clients by age, aetiology and complexity, as well as diversity of clinical settings and methods of intervention.  The remaining 50 (fifty) sessions will be clinically related.

●       The degree classification of a student will be determined by consideration of the performance in all units taken at Level 2 and Level 3.  In the calculation of the degree classification, Level 2 marks will be counted once and Level 3 marks will be counted twice. This is a 1:2 ratio.

●       A student is normally required to pass all units at a given level before proceeding to the next level.

●       A student who fails any of the clinical placement elements of HCS 1011, HCS 2021 or HCS 3011 will be required to undertake an additional period of clinical work under conditions approved by the Director of Professional Education in order to continue the unit.

●       A student who has failed to pass any part of the final examination at the first attempt will still be eligible for Honours provided that a pass is achieved at the second or later attempt.
