"My course allowed me to undertake practical placements in every semester"
I chose Speech Pathology at ECU because I was interested in the area of communication and I was warmly welcomed into a very supportive learning environment.
The course allowed me to undertake practicum placements in every semester since the very beginning.
Practical experience, in my opinion, is the gateway to gaining a proper insight into speech pathology and the best preparation for having a job after university.
