The Bachelor of Speech-Language Therapy at UKZN (Westville) is a four-year HPCSA-accredited degree that prepares graduates to assess and treat communication, language, and swallowing disorders across diverse South African communities. South Africa's linguistic diversity — with 11 official languages — creates unique challenges and opportunities for speech-language therapists working with patients who speak Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, and other indigenous languages. Graduates complete a compulsory community service year before independent registration and are in strong demand in both the public health system and private practice.
