CHANGE THE WORLD Newborn hearing screening If deafness can be diagnosed at birth, then the child can get educational support or hearing aids to help his or her development. Research at the University of Southampton’s Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) helped to develop and evaluate a pioneering test that enables deafness to be detected in newborn babies. Since it has been adopted by the National Health Service, all newborn babies in the UK are routinely screened. The research at the ISVR has contributed to the World Health Organisation’s recommendations in favour of universal newborn hearing screening.
IMPROVING LIVES Over six million newborns have now been screened
GLOBAL IMPACT Policymakers in the US and Australia are using our research
Audiology lecturer Dr Ben Lineton is a renowned expert in the hearing test used with newborn babies (otoacoustic emissions).

Hearing loss, tinnitus and dizziness are major international public health problems. Audiology is the clinical discipline of assessing and treating those conditions in health services. Hearing Science aims to understand hearing and hearing disorders, and to develop the technologies to help them.
Our goal at Southampton is to develop the future leaders of audiology and hearing science. By providing an inspiring, challenging and supportive learning environment, we can help you towards a successful and rewarding career. Audiology graduates can work in NHS services, delivering care to adults and children with hearing loss, tinnitus, other auditory deficits and vestibular disfunction. Hearing Science graduates can work in research and development of new techniques and hearing technology and non-clinical healthcare roles. Our courses are led by worldrenowned experts working at the cutting edge of research and clinical practice. Our teaching team includes audiologists, hearing scientists, engineers, teachers of the deaf, speech and language therapists and a surgeon. We offer unique, multidisciplinary perspectives of audiology and hearing science, helping you to discover and understand the bigger picture.
Teaching and learning The ISVR is an enthusiastic and supportive community. Most of the teaching on our courses takes place within one building (the ‘hub’), which also houses most staff, the audiology centre and our skills laboratory. Our courses are hands-on with students developing their practical skills in our first-class facilities from the start. In the first year of the courses you will learn about the scientific, clinical and professional background to neurosensory science (including hearing/audiology and vision science and neurophysiology). The course
provide innovative and diverse learning opportunities in a range of environments which enable you to develop independent learning, critical thinking and collaborative working skills.
Practical skills Approximately one-third of the first two years of the courses consist of practical sessions based in our audiology clinic and dedicated skills laboratory. Within the first year you will learn a variety of skills including patient interviewing, hearing testing, taking ear impressions and fitting hearing aids.
Clinical placement course Our BSc/MSci Healthcare Science (Audiology) courses include 40 weeks of clinical placement guaranteed, organised and overseen by us. We have strong, long-standing links with our placement centres who have extensive experience in providing training. Placement centres are mostly located in the South of England. To make sure you have the skills, techniques and confidence you need on placement we organise two or three fortnightly taster clinical placements in the first year.
Non-placement course BSc/MSci Hearing Science is a non-placement course for students who aspire for roles in research and development, and non-clinical leadership roles, as well as for international students who wish to undertake separate clinical training in their home country. Students are
encouraged to identify a substantial period of optional work experience during the third year, which we then support and assess. For students who are interested in clinical training after their degree, we also offer MSc Audiology with Clinical Placement at postgraduate level.
Research projects The dynamic and multidisciplinary research projects at the ISVR form a crucial part of our BSc and MSci courses. The research projects are distinctive in their duration and depth and cover areas including clinical hearing aid measurements, balance function testing and human auditory brain processing. Many masters projects generate publications in scientific journals. We also offer exciting postgraduate opportunities for those wanting to continue in research after completing the MSci course.
Flexible learning The Hearing Science course and the fourth year of the MSci in both courses have been designed for flexible learning with a range of optional modules within and beyond audiology to suit your interests. The fourth year can be taken part time so that students can start earnand-learn and gather valuable extra work experience.

TERMS & CONDITIONS The University’s Charter, Statutes, Regulations and Policies are set out in the University Calendar and can be accessed online at www.calendar.soton.ac.uk Terms of use This brochure does not constitute an offer or invitation by the University of Southampton to study at Southampton. This brochure provides an overview of the University and life at Southampton, along with information about all the undergraduate programmes available at the time of publication. It is provided for information purposes only. Relevant weblinks are shown throughout the brochure. Please also consult the programme information online for further details or for any changes that have appeared since first publication of the brochure. The information contained in the brochure, welcome guides or on our websites is subject to change and may be updated by the University from time to time to reflect intellectual advances in the subject, changing requirements of professional bodies and changes in academic staff members’ interests and expertise. Changes may also occur as a result of monitoring and review by the University, external agencies or regulators.
1. Change or discontinuance of programmes The University of Southampton will use all reasonable efforts to deliver advertised programmes and other services and facilities in accordance with the descriptions set out in the brochure, student handbooks, welcome guides and website. It will provide students with the tuition and learning support and other services and facilities so described with reasonable care and skill. We undertake a continuous review of our programmes, services and facilities to ensure quality enhancement. We are also largely funded through public and charitable means and are required to manage these funds in an efficient and cost-effective way for the benefit of the whole of the University community. We therefore, reserve the right where necessary: – to alter the timetable, location, number of classes, content or method of delivery of programmes of study and/or examination processes, provided such alterations are reasonable; – to make reasonable variations to the content and syllabus of programmes of study (including in relation to placements); – to suspend or discontinue programmes of study (for example, because a key member of staff is unwell or leaves the University); – to make changes to our Statutes, Ordinances, Regulations, policies and procedures which we reasonably consider necessary (for example, in the light of changes in the law or the requirements of the University’s regulators). Such changes if significant will normally come into force at the beginning of the following academic year or, if fundamental to the programme, will normally come into force with effect from the next cohort of students; – to close programmes of study or to combine or merge them with others (for example, because too
few students apply to join the programme for it to be viable). If the University closes, discontinues or combines a programme of study or otherwise changes a programme of study significantly (the “Change”), the University will inform applicants (or students where relevant) affected by the Change at the earliest possible opportunity. a If the Change comes into force before the University has made an offer of a place or before an applicant has accepted an offer of a place, an applicant will be entitled to withdraw his or her application, without any liability to the University, by informing the University in writing within a reasonable time of being notified of the Change. b. If the Change comes into force after an offer has been accepted but prior to the student enrolling, the student may either: (i) withdraw from the University and be given an appropriate refund of tuition fees and deposits, or (ii) transfer to another available programme (if any) as may be offered by the University for which the student is qualified. If in these circumstances the student wishes to withdraw from the University and to apply for a programme at a different university, the University shall use its reasonable endeavours to assist the student. c. If the Change comes into force after a student has enrolled, the University will use reasonable endeavours to teach the programme out but cannot guarantee to do so. If the University cannot teach out a programme of study, it will use its reasonable endeavours to facilitate the transfer of a student to an equivalent programme for which the student is qualified and which has places available within the University or at a different university.
2. Changes to services or facilities The University will make available to students such learning support and other services and facilities as it considers appropriate, but may vary what it provides from time to time (for example, the University may consider it desirable to change the way it provides library or IT support).
3. Financial or other losses The University will not be held liable for any direct or indirect financial or other losses or damage arising from such closures, discontinuations, changes to or mergers of any programme of study, service or facility. Upon acceptance by an applicant of an offer of a place at the University, the relationship between the applicant and the University becomes contractual. When the contract is formed between the student and the University it will last for the relevant academic year only unless the student withdraws from the programme or the programme is terminated. Please note: the right of a student to withdraw from a programme of study under the provisions set out in paragraph 1(b) above following a Change, are in addition to any statutory rights of
cancellation that may exist under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. In entering into that contract, the terms of the contract will not be enforceable by any person not a party to that contract under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
Force majeure The University will not be held liable for any loss, damage or expense resulting from any delay, variation or failure in the provision of programmes of study, services or facilities arising from circumstances beyond the University’s reasonable control, including (but not limited to) war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, interruption in power supplies or other services for any reason, fire, boycott and telecommunications failure. In the event that such circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the University arise, it will use all reasonable endeavours to minimise disruption as far as it is practical to do so provided that such endeavours do not undermine the University’s Quality Assurance requirements.
