Programme

The international program of Speech-Language Pathology consists of English SLP courses that add
up to 30 ECTS. As some of the courses are part of the third year of the regular bachelor program
(Bachelor of Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology), a basic knowledge of the main fields in
SLP is required.

If you master Dutch, you can also attend the regular courses taught in Dutch. The combination of courses of the international program and the regular program can be restricted by planning issues.  
 
Please check the prerequisites of every course carefully before applying. Thomas More University of Applied Sciences, campus Antwerp@Sint-Andries remains the right to change the learning agreement upon arrival if the student does not meet the requirements to enter the course.

Below you can find an overview of the courses (under reservation of changes), with the number of credits per course. Credits express how many hours you need on average to process the subject matter (incl. lessons). Count about 25 to 30 hours for 1 study credit.
