What you will learn

Did you know that the number of elderly patients in need of speech therapy has been increasing for years? Around 85% of patients with an acquired speech and language disorder have had a stroke. About 25% of them have chronic swallowing disorders after a stroke and about 10% have a speech disorder. Due to the demographic development, there are more and more people who have other diseases, such as dementia, in addition to a stroke.

But also with children the logopaedic promotion and / or therapy has been increasing continuously for years. Many of them come to the nursery, kindergarten or school with speech problems. The reason for this is often the lack of speech stimulation or speech occasions, or the fact that children do not experience a speech-promoting environment or behavior. Ideally, this can be remedied by appropriate speech therapy. The same applies to children who have to cope with their language acquisition due to a congenital speech disorder or a language development disorder, i.e. who learn under difficult conditions, in educational institutions together with other children without or even with a language problem and who additionally have a comprehensive need for therapy.

During your studies, we will teach you medical as well as linguistic, behavioral and social science basics of speech therapy. Furthermore, we will train you in theoretical as well as practical skills and competencies in the field of speech and language therapy, including speech, language, voice, swallowing, communication and hearing disorders.

A subject-specific focus during your bachelor's degree is on disorders of the acquisition of spoken and written language, including disorders of the flow of speech. Here, a critical examination of the development, implementation, and evaluation of language development programs for late speaking children, so-called "late talkers," takes place. A further specialist focus is on neurogenic speech, language and swallowing disorders. Across all disorder patterns, this is embedded in practical training on patients, which is always evidence-based and combines the latest findings from research with the best clinical experience.

Exposure to cross-disciplinary (interdisciplinary) neuroscience findings not only expands your expertise, but also allows you to transfer knowledge and independently as well as actively develop new therapeutic interventions. It will help you to evaluate and implement new findings and thus to remain professionally up-to-date with the latest scientific developments in order to provide your patients with the best possible treatment options. In addition, your bachelor's degree in speech therapy also gives you the opportunity to expand your own horizons, to set interdisciplinary priorities and thus to look beyond your "own nose".

The current changes in the health care system also require additional professional management skills in order to increase competitiveness in the health care market. Therefore, in addition to the fundamentals of medical law and basic knowledge of business administration, you will also acquire advanced knowledge of health and social systems as well as skills in project management, moderation and presentation. All of this rounds out your profile, trains you to become a specialist in the field of speech therapy, and thus offers you optimal career prospects.

Details about the study model and internship

With us you study in a full-time study model, but in a so-called block structure. This means that the attendance time at our university is compressed and you can also be active in your professional activities.

Your studies take place every 14 days - on Thursdays and Fridays. This means that you can ideally combine your attendance time with your professional activity and your private requirements, and you have the chance to acquire new knowledge and apply it directly in practice at the same time. In particular, the internship, which is integrated into the study program, enables you to gain valuable insights into the professional activities of a "high professional". You will be part of a multi-professional team in fields such as prevention, counseling, diagnostics and therapy. Before, during and after the internship, you will also receive continuous practical support from lecturers at our university.
