Program Overview

Massey’s Master of Speech and Language Therapy provides qualified speech language therapists with opportunities for advanced clinical and theoretical study. You’ll develop research skills that will prepare you to use and add to the knowledge base in speech and language therapy.

This programme will give you expertise in core areas such as evidence-based practise and research methods. You can also follow your interests in specialist areas that reflect your individual passions and/or client caseloads.

We tailor assignments and thesis topics to your interests. We also pair you with an academic mentor who has expertise in your subject area.

Our programme is very flexible. There are two pathways to completion: a professional pathway and a research pathway. There are options for studying full-time or part-time. You can also complete the programme through distance learning.

If you have a Bachelor of Speech and Language Therapy (Honours) degree or equivalent, with at least a B grade average, you are eligible to reduce the amount of coursework required by 60-credits. For students in the research pathway, this means that you can advance directly into the thesis component of the degree.

This programme provides a strong foundation for entry into a PhD.
