In this full-time course, students attend on-campus classes, and clinical practicum placements. The learning and teaching methods that students will encounter are matched to the content of each unit and students can expect to engage in online lectures, tutorials, small and large group learning activities, and skill development training, all of which will require their active participation. Learning and teaching materials are routinely delivered using multimodal resources.

The academic curriculum is structured sequentially so that students gain knowledge across the range of Speech Pathology practice by the end of Year 1. In Year 2 there is increased emphasis on case complexity, and systematic development towards Speech Pathology Australia's required levels of knowledge and competence for graduates entering the profession.

The clinical practicum curriculum is structured to include two types of placements, i.e., those that are one day per week (session placements), and those that are several days per week (block placements). The session placements continue throughout each session, and mean that students will learn concurrently in their coursework and clinical practice units. This structure is designed to foster students' abilities to think critically, gain insight into the clinical relevance of theoretical frameworks and research findings, and develop ability to integrate insights from clinical experiences during classroom-based learning activities with peers. The block placements allow students to learn in clinical settings on a daily basis, offering opportunities to apply and consolidate skills and knowledge in settings that closely approximate everyday speech pathology practice.

Critical engagement with a variety of perspectives is encouraged during learning activities through the participation of clinical researchers, specialist clinicians, and people with communication disabilities and/or their family members. These practices foster the teamwork and networking required for successful work within the Speech Pathology profession, as well as making learning experiences enjoyable and productive.
