Speech and language Sciences

Communication is everything

People need to feel heard. It's vital to our social and emotional growth. That's why speech and language therapists play such a crucial role in our world, transforming the lives of people who struggle to communicate. Our courses will enable you to develop specialist knowledge, work in partnership with clients and their families and help remove barriers that make life harder for people who communicate differently.

We pride ourselves on our strong team ethos and believe that this shines through in our LBU SLT community of staff, students, alumni and service users and in our SLT networks across the region and nationally. Our focus is on applied, future-focused teaching and research in a digital age and on making a positive difference in the communities where we and our students work.
