Details

The Bachelor of Audiology at UKZN (Westville) is a four-year professional degree that trains graduates to assess, diagnose, and rehabilitate hearing and balance disorders across the human lifespan. South Africa carries a high burden of hearing loss due to noise-induced occupational exposure, infectious diseases, and limited early intervention, making audiologists essential health professionals across both public and private sectors. The programme is accredited by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and graduates are required to complete one year of community service.
