CCCU placements for Speech and Language Therapy MSc

Hi, I was wondering what the usual placement locations are for Speech and Language Therapy students at Canterbury Christ Church University. I’ve heard that Canterbury, Ashford, and Dover are some of the common options, but they’re quite far from the Medway campus by train—around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Since I don’t have a car, I’m trying to figure out the best place to relocate. Are there other placement locations I should be aware of? Would it make more sense to relocate closer to Canterbury instead of staying near the Medway campus?

Hi, we have messaged some academics from this course for more information on placements and will be in contact when we have more information. If you have any other queries then contact [email protected] and they will be able to signpost you to useful information.

Hey, :wavey:

This is the information that the course academics have provided us regarding placements for Speech and Language Therapy:

Placements are situated throughout Kent and sometimes Sussex and Surrey Borders/ South East London , sometimes North London depending on student's term time address. Unfortunately it would be impossible to list each and every one of the locations. However, the maximum commute would be 90 mins from your term time address.

You will receive sufficient notice before your placements on where it will be to help you plan your travel etc.

Please check out our website for more information on the course and placements: https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/study-here/courses/postgraduate/speech-and-language-therapy https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/about-us/faculties-schools-and-departments/faculty-of-medicine-health-and-social-care/practice-learning-unit

I hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions :thumbsup:
