About this program

The Master of Clinical Audiology at the University of Western Australia prepares students for professional practice assessing, diagnosing and managing hearing and balance disorders. Course content covers topics including hearing science, audiological assessment techniques, habilitation and rehabilitation, paediatric and adult audiology, clinical communication, and the use of hearing technology such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. Students gain experience with real clients throughout the degree, starting with simulations and progressing to direct patient care.

This degree is structured over two years of full-time study, delivered over semesters. Students complete core units, placements, and often a research project. Credit is measured in units of study and credit points as at other Australian universities. Extensive work-integrated learning is built in, including clinical placements in hospitals, community clinics or private practices around Perth and regional Western Australia. This experience exposes students to the diverse settings where audiologists work and allows them to apply their knowledge in supervised real-world situations.

The course is designed for those aiming to enter the audiology profession or seeking recognised qualifications for Australian registration as a clinical audiologist. Graduates learn clinical problem-solving, advanced communication skills, and the ethical responsibilities of healthcare professionals. The Master of Clinical Audiology suits science, health, or psychology graduates ready to build a career working with people from all age groups experiencing hearing or balance issues.

As part of the Australian Qualifications Framework, this qualification is at the master's (coursework) level. Students should check the official course page for the latest detail on entry requirements and placement arrangements.
