The Bachelor of Speech-Language Pathology at Wits is a four-year professional degree accredited by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), training students to assess and treat communication disorders including speech, language, fluency, voice, and swallowing difficulties. Students must write the National Benchmark Tests and may be wait-listed with an APS of 30–33. South Africa has a severe shortage of speech-language pathologists — particularly in under-resourced communities and public hospitals — creating meaningful career opportunities for Wits graduates who are committed to equitable healthcare. Clinical placements at major Johannesburg hospitals provide extensive practical training across paediatric, adult, and neurological populations.
