Admission requirements

Applicants normally must hold an approved degree from an approved tertiary institution, and typically have achieved a minimum of credit average. However, the Dean (Education) may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.

No specific undergraduate degree is required for admission.

In addition to an approved degree, admission will be based on the applicant's best Grade Point Average using a minimum of 18 units of a qualification from an approved tertiary institution.

Course aims

The Master of Audiology course aims:

  • to produce graduates with the knowledge, skills and attitudes to be competent entry-level practitioners of clinical audiology
  • to produce health professionals who are familiar with issues relating to public health and the principles of primary health care
  • to produce graduates who can function effectively in a range of primary and tertiary health care settings in metropolitan, rural and remote areas, including practising audiology with minority and disadvantaged groups
  • to equip graduates with skills in accessing and appraising scientific and clinical information and foster an attitude towards the maintenance of professional currency which will assist their further professional development.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the Master of Audiology, students will have:

Knowledge

  • a comprehensive knowledge and understanding pertaining to hearing and balance and their disorders including
      o  normal and disordered function
      o  diagnosis of disorders
      o  impact and management of disorders, and of related difficulties
      o  recent developments in the field as applicable to the above issues
  • of research principles and methods applicable to audiology

Skills

  • cognitive skills to demonstrate mastery of, and reflect critically on, current and emerging understanding of audiological science and practice
  • to meet the standards set out by Audiology Australia for practice by entry-level audiologists and undertake the Clinical Internship run by Audiology Australia, including
      o  to work independently in standard audiometric assessment of clients across the lifespan
      o  to work under supervision in advanced diagnostic, rehabilitative, educational and other specialist settings
  • communication and technical skills to communicate effectively within the profession as well as with other professionals, clients and the general community
  • that demonstrate awareness of and adaptation to clients’ diverse cultural needs, especially those of Indigenous communities
  • to practice in current public health contexts in city-based, rural and remote settings in Australia as well as overseas
  • to establish and maintain life-long learning in all areas related to clinical practice

Graduates will demonstrate application of knowledge and skills

  • with creativity and initiative to new situations in audiological practice and research, and for further learning
  • with high level personal autonomy, accountability and ethical awareness
  • to plan and execute a substantial research based project and piece of scholarship

Program of study

To qualify for the Master of Audiology, a student must complete 72 units with a grade of P or NGP or better in each topic, according to the following program of study:

Students who commence the Master of Audiology but elect not to complete that degree may be eligible to be awarded with the Graduate Diploma in Health Studies, subject to passing a minimum of 36 units of study within the Master of Audiology.

Core - Year 1 topics

 AUDI9100  Audiology 1  (9 units)
 AUDI9120  Audiology 2  (9 units)
 AUDI9301  Professional Studies 1  (4.5 units)
 AUDI9302  Clinical Audiology 1  (4.5 units)
 AUDI9311  Professional Studies 2  (4.5 units)
 AUDI9312  Clinical Audiology 2  (4.5 units)

Except with permission of the College of Nursing and Health Sciences:

  • no topic may be attempted more than twice;
  • the program must be completed full-time within four consecutive semesters.

The award of a grade of Fail (F) in the same topic on more than one occasion will constitute prima facie evidence of unsatisfactory progress for the purposes of the University's Policy on Student Progress.

A student who withdraws from the course or fails to renew enrolment may re-enrol only with the College approval.

Every effort has been made to ensure the information published on the Course Rule pages is accurate at the time of publication. Flinders University reserves the right to amend its curriculum without prior notice, and will update the Course Rules to reflect any amendments at the earliest opportunity.
