Does Audiology have good job prospects and is it a good career?

As the title says, Does Audiology have good job prospects and is it a good career?
Audiology can be a pretty solid career choice with good job prospects. There are a bunch of different settings you could work in like hospitals, private clinics, schools, or even in research. Some specific roles include clinical audiologists who diagnose and treat hearing issues, pediatric audiologists who focus on kids, and hearing aid dispensers. Starting salaries in the UK tend to be around 20-30K, but with experience this can increase to more like 35-50K, and more in v senior positions.

What do you like about audiology?? :smile: :blow:

Unfortunately, Audiology isn't eligible for the NHS Learning Support fund (LSF).

Maybe check with the university you'll be attending, they may offer other bursaries that you may be eligible for.
