The BMedSci (Speech and Language Therapy) is a three year undergraduate degree programme which runs according to the semester system of the University of Sheffield. Students attend lectures, workshops and tutorials at the University during semester time. Clinical placements run in semester time, but not usually in student vacation time. Assessments are varied and consist of examinations, assignments, presentations, video-based assessments, clinical examinations and vivas. The programme is not modular meaning students must complete and pass all of the modules and clinical placements to receive the degree.
