UCL Audiology: a clinical degree with 30 weeks on placement
UCL's Audiology BSc is a professional degree: it is described as accredited, trains students to work as audiologists and includes 30 weeks of clinical placement across NHS hospitals, hearing aid dispensers and private clinics. Entry asks for AAB including two sciences, a lower grade standard than UCL's research degrees. The decision is whether a clinical hearing-care career is what you want.

Official sources
Read on 31 October 2026 on UCL's Audiology BSc course page (a saved copy that UCL labels as possibly not showing recent changes), which describes 2027 entry. UCL's department pages, the fees pages, the contextual-offer details and the 2028-entry values were not read, and the page lists no admissions test or interview so none is stated and are not stated.
The course
Hearing, balance and tinnitus, learned in the clinic
UCL says students learn about hearing loss in children, tinnitus and balance disorders, study research methods and data analysis and complete a final-year research project, and develop clinical and communication skills through 30 weeks of integrated placement. On placement they shadow and work with a registered audiologist, completing assessments and hearing aid fittings under supervision.
Is it the right degree?
Audiology against research and other health degrees
The clinical placements are what separate it from UCL's science degrees.
Choose Audiology if
you want to work directly with patients in hearing and balance care.
Choose Applied Medical Sciences if
you want research and clinical translation without a clinical profession. Avandy's UCL Applied Medical Sciences guide covers it.
Choose Neuroscience if
you want the research science of the nervous system. Avandy's UCL Neuroscience guide covers it.
Entry rules
Two sciences at AAB
A-level applicants need AAB including two sciences from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology, and at least two A-levels from UCL's list of preferred subjects. IB applicants need 15 points in three higher level subjects including two from Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology. UCL's page lists no admissions test or interview. This page states no scores.
A decision framework
Three questions before you commit
This is Avandy's own framework, not UCL's.
Do you want a patient-facing profession?
Clinical placement is a core part of the degree.
Are two sciences in place?
Two of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics and Psychology are required.
Are you comfortable with 30 weeks on placement?
Placement weeks depend partly on providers.
