Since the 2015/2016 academic year, SAERA and University Isabel I have collaborated to offer specialised training in the field of Health Sciences, tailored to the needs of professionals in the sector.

As a key development, the upcoming academic year will see the introduction of a new Master Programme, eight new Expert Certificate Programmes, and an expanded selection of Diploma Programmes. In addition, Speech Therapy has been incorporated alongside the existing specialities of Optometry, Audiology, and Neuroscience to address emerging professional demands in this field.

As before, all programmes will be delivered online, with the only in-person component being the practical sessions included in the Master Programme. Students will continue to benefit from SAERA’s flexible approach to education, with extended tutor support hours and the ability to organise their studies around their professional and personal commitments. This ensures that students can specialise in their chosen field without compromising on quality.

For the 2018/2019 academic year, four Master programmes will be available:

• Master in Clinical Audiology and Hearing Therapy
• Master in Clinical Optometry and Vision Therapy
• Master in Applied Neuroscience
• Master in  Speech-Language Pathology and Learning Difficulties

 In total, 61 Diploma programmes will be offered across the four specialisations, further enhancing training opportunities for professionals in the sector.
