The dual Bachelor program in Speech and Language Therapy with integrated vocational training aims at imparting broad basic knowledge about methods and theories of Speech and Language Therapy. By increasing their specialist knowledge, graduates are particularly qualified to act on evidence. The combination of the Bachelor’s program with a professional training in clinical practice results in a close interlocking of practical and university qualifications at a high level.

Having obtained their university degree, graduates master the demands of professional practice using current scientific theories and methods. They are able to look at the abilities of the human language, articulation, voice, hearing, and swallowing functions as well as effectively treat their disorders in a theory-based manner. In order to do so, they combine current evidence with their personal competences as well as with the patient’s individual demands. In the process, they are able to work self-reliantly, self-dependently, and interprofessionally. They are able to reflect and evaluate their therapeutic treatment scientifically. The related tasks of documentation, quality assurance, and management can be conducted in accordance with the requirements of social law applicable to prevention, therapy, and rehabilitation.
