Taught master’s in audiology
Our courses and postgraduate research programmes have a longstanding reputation for training professionals and researchers in audiology and deaf education.
Learn at a research-intensive university
You will study in an intensive and high-quality research environment, learning from members of the Manchester Centre for Audiology and Deafness (ManCAD) and the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre – a valuable opportunity if you wish to go on to a PhD and a research career.
"During my degree, I had a more in-depth introduction to research, and a highlight for me was having an article published based on my master's thesis."
