The Division of Audiology is responsible for the  , which is a 3-year full-time programme resulting in a degree of bachelor of science in audiology and a professional certification as an audiologist. The programme includes clinical education in close cooperation with the audiology clinic at the Karolinska University Hospital and with other authorized audiology clinics in the Stockholm county.

After completing a bachelor’s degree, it is possible to pursue a master of science in audiology. In Sweden, a master’s degree meets the entry requirement for doctoral studies.

Research at the division

A hearing disorder may be present at birth or be acquired later in life. It can result in hearing loss and/or tinnitus. Common causes are older age, disease, genetic defect, and noise exposure. At the Division of Audiology, research is performed mainly on the prevalence, causes, and prevention of hearing disorders.

Education at the division

Undergraduate studies

The work includes hearing assessment, hearing aid fitting as well as investigating how to prevent hearing loss in workplaces and public places. As an audiologist, you also have an important educational role and teach patients both individually and in groups.

The audiology program is interdisciplinary and includes technical, ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ and behavioral sciences. The training focuses on the hearing-impaired individual’s needs in terms of hearing, hearing impairment, hearing rehabilitation, hearing technology and fitting of hearing aids.

A central area of the program is the communication with patients in the assessment and rehabilitation. The program also emphasizes the importance of a scientific approach which is integrated with the latest findings from current research in the form of scientific papers and projects. The last term includes an individual project.

How do I become an audiologist?

The audiology program at ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is three years and includes both theoretical and clinical education. The studies conclude with a Bachelor of Medical Science with a major in Audiology as well as a Bachelor of Science in Audiology both of 180 credits. The degrees are eligible for certification, awarded by the National Board.

Internationalisation

Exchange studies

At the audiology program, it is possible to attend exchange studies on Arteveldehogeschool in Ghent, Belgium, in the framework of the Erasmus program. This exchange program includes three months to one semester. There is also an Exchange program at the University of Illinois, USA which includes studies for one semester.
