Professional training
Higher Specialist Scientist Training Programme (HSST) is a five-year workplace-based training programme supported by an underpinning doctoral-level academic programme and, where appropriate, Royal College qualifications.
Prospective students may wish to undertake one of the School's postgraduate modules. These can be taken separately to aid career progression, and some may be available to give students a taster for the challenges of postgraduate education.
- Effective Amplification for Infants and Children
This newly developed Masters-level module is available to all audiology professionals working in clinical practice with deaf children across the UK and Ireland. It has the advantage of being an eLearning course so that students can study in their own locality and at a time convenient to them. - Audiology: short courses (Masters level modules)
- Auditory Assessment and Management
- Vestibular Assessment and Management
- Auditory Science
- Paediatric Audiology
- MSc in Clinical Sciences (Neurosensory Sciences, Audiology)
After each attendance in Manchester, trainees will return to their work base to complete the self-directed/distance-learning portion of each unit during their work-based professional training.
