Audiology and speech therapy courses in India

Asked by: Guest - 07 Aug 16

I have completed my 12th in science stream with PCB, but my percentage is not very good. I have opted for B Sc in Audiology. Are there any other similar courses in audiology and speech therapy for graduation? Also update me the post-graduate courses in the same stream.

Audiology is a branch of science which deals with the study of hearing and balancing and the disorders related to the same. Speech therapy is the field that deals with the identification, evaluation and treatment of disorders related to communication and swallowing. Both the fields have many things in common, still both can be pursued as different fields of practice.

Some of the audiology and speech therapy courses available at graduation level are:

- Bachelor of Audiology and Speech Language Pathology (BASLP)
- B Sc Audiology
- B Sc Audiology and Speech Therapy
- B Sc Audiology and Speech Rehabilitation
- Diploma in Audiology
- Diploma in Audiology and Speech Therapy
- Diploma in Hearing, Language and Speech

The post graduate courses are available in India in this field as M Sc, PG Diploma and PG Certificate course. Post-graduate courses have specialization in disciplines like balancing disorders, paediatrics, paediatric rehabilitation, cochlear implants etc.
