Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
The course covers the underlying science of hearing and balance, including anatomy and physiology of the auditory and vestibular systems, alongside the physics of sound that underpins diagnostic audiology. Students learn to carry out and interpret hearing assessments, fit and manage hearing devices, and understand the range of conditions that affect hearing and balance across different age groups. Clinical and practical skills are built up progressively, giving students the chance to apply classroom learning in settings that reflect real audiology practice. The wider Nursing & Health field at Leeds also offers specialisations in related areas such as Adult Nursing, Mental Health, Child Health, Midwifery, Public Health, Physiotherapy, Social Work and Paramedic Science, giving a sense of the breadth of allied health disciplines students may encounter or work alongside during their studies.
Who it's for
This course suits people who are curious about how the body works, particularly the finer mechanics of hearing and balance, and who also want a genuinely people-facing role. If you enjoy problem-solving, are comfortable with technical and scientific detail, and can imagine yourself explaining test results or device options to a worried patient with patience and clarity, audiology is likely to feel like a natural fit. Strong communication skills matter as much as scientific ability here, since much of the work involves listening carefully to patients' concerns and translating clinical findings into plain language. Most students accepted onto the course have come in with A-levels or equivalent, typically within the 160–175 UCAS tariff range, though this reflects the profile of recent entrants rather than a fixed requirement. Anyone drawn to a career that mixes hands-on clinical work with ongoing scientific learning should feel at home studying this subject.
Careers & job market
Audiology leads into a specific, recognised clinical profession, and graduates typically move towards roles assessing and managing hearing and balance conditions within health services. Nationally, across Nursing & Health courses, 90% of graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating, and 87% of those in work are in highly skilled roles or further study, figures that reflect the national Graduate Outcomes picture for the subject area rather than outcomes specific to Leeds. National earnings data (Graduate Outcomes / LEO) for the wider field show starting salaries 15 months after graduation ranging from £27,000 to £30,500, rising to between £23,800 and £33,600 after three years, and £27,200 to £38,400 after five years; these are national figures across the field and not a guaranteed outcome for any individual graduate. Nationally, 85% of students on comparable courses continue past their first year, either still enrolled or having completed their studies.
University & format
The BSc (Hons) Audiology is a full-time, three-year course delivered in English at the University of Leeds, a public, research-intensive Russell Group university founded in 1904. The university holds a Silver award in the Office for Students' TEF 2023 for teaching quality. The course is listed under UCAS code B61A.

International students
What applying to University of Leeds from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is set per course by University of Leeds; 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 University of Leeds’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 University of Leeds and gov.uk before you apply.
