Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
You'll study audiology within a healthcare science framework, progressing from foundations in clinical practice and human anatomy through to specialised assessment and management of hearing conditions. Year 1 typically covers core audiology principles, anatomy and physiology of the ear and hearing system, alongside supervised clinical placements. Year 2 moves into acute and long-term care contexts, audiological diagnostic techniques, and pharmacology relevant to hearing health. Year 3 focuses on complex cases, evidence-based audiology practice, and leadership in healthcare delivery. Throughout the three years, you'll complete placements in various settings, community audiology services, hospital departments, and specialist clinics, building competence for professional registration. You'll usually explore specialisations such as adult audiology, paediatric assessment, hearing aid fitting, or cochlear implants.

International students
What applying to Middlesex University from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by Middlesex University; international fees are typically £12,000–£30,000/year for classroom subjects and higher for lab/clinical ones. You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check Middlesex University’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with Middlesex University and gov.uk before you apply.
