We offer one of the few audiology degree programmes in KwaZulu-Natal that provide hands-on training in the science of hearing. This programme is designed for students who want to study audiology in South Africa and gain practical experience required to become qualified audiologists.
The discipline of audiology focuses on the scientific study and clinical practice of both normal and disordered hearing. It is closely related to fields such as Speech-Language Pathology, Medicine, Special Education, Psychology, and Hearing Aid Instrumentation.
An audiologist is a healthcare professional who specialises in identifying, assessing, and preventing hearing impairment. Through our audiology training in KwaZulu-Natal, students develop the skills to evaluate hearing in adults, infants, and children of all ages.
Audiologists work within multidisciplinary healthcare teams to assess, diagnose, and manage hearing and balance disorders. Our audiology course in South Africa includes hands-on experience in hearing assessments, specialised diagnostic testing, hearing aid fitting, hearing conservation programmes, and therapy for individuals with hearing loss.
The purpose of this four-year audiology degree in South Africa is to develop skilled professionals who can contribute to accessible and effective hearing healthcare. Graduates are prepared to work in hospitals, special schools, and industry, supporting healthcare delivery across KwaZulu-Natal and beyond.
