Speech and Language Therapy is a career I have always been passionate about. I completed an undergraduate degree in Social Science as a stepping stone, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding people, communication, and social systems and when I was offered a place on this programme I was absolutely delighted.
From day one, the Speech and Language team in UL were incredibly welcoming and engaging. The smaller class size meant you could really get to know the lecturers, and that personal connection made a huge difference to my learning experience. The lecturers come from a diverse background with a mix of academic and clinical experience and are always there to offer support and encouragement.
The programme itself was intensive, both academically and clinically. Balancing coursework with placements required a lot of organisation, but with commitment and determination, it was achievable. The clinical placements were by far my favourite part. Being able to take the theory we had worked so hard on and apply it in real settings was amazing. Working directly with clients, witnessing their progress, and knowing I had played a part in that was inspiring and reminded me exactly why I had chosen this career.
I am now a qualified speech and language therapist, and I am excited to begin my career and explore the many different paths within the profession. I would highly recommend this programme to anyone considering speech and language therapy as a career. It is challenging, but if you put in the hard work, the rewards at the end are more than worth it.
