MSc (Masters in Science) Hearing, Balance and Communication is a postgraduate degree. If you are a Social, Medical and Allied Health Professional looking to progress your career, this may be just for you. It is the only degree of its kind in Ireland and has specifically been developed to suit busy professionals. It is a part time programme which takes place over 2 years with a hybrid delivery.  Our past and current students have included participants from around Europe, making this suitable to global applicants. A combination of 4 core modules, a research project and 4 elective modules, allows students to tailor their studies to their own professional and personal interests. Attendance onsite will be 4-5 times per year, with each module taking place over 2-3 days (Thursday-Saturday).
