Course summary
This is a work-based learning course where students are employed within NHS Departments and released to undertake academic study. Please note, this course is commissioned by the National School of Healthcare Science, therefore, you do not apply directly to the Aston University for this course. This includes clinical science training to provide an appropriately trained workforce to work in the NHS. This requires the education and training of practitioners in the division of neurosensory science. This division is made up of 3 pathways:
- Audiology
- Neurophysiology
- Ophthalmic and Vision Sciences.
Assessment method
The first year is mostly assessed via coursework, so you are able to benchmark your abilities early on and to develop your skills in managing your own learning. In the second and third years of the course you will undertake a research project, with an associated research methods module to develop your skills in this area.
Entry requirements
Entry requirements are set by the NHS. Applicants must possess a first or upper second class honours degree or equivalent in a pure or applied science subject. For applicants who obtained their degree outside the UK, the degree/qualification must be deemed to be at least of equivalent standing. Applicants whose first language is not English will be required to provide evidence of an English language qualification. English language test requirements may be waived where students’ undergraduate degree was studied in an English speaking country. For more information, please visit our website.
