The Singapore Institute of Technology has launched new degree programmes in speech and language therapy, and digital communications and integrated media.
SIT said that is an increasing demand for speech therapists in Singapore, for children who require early intervention, as well as older adults who have had health issues. SIT’s programme will cost close to $37,000.
Currently, the National University of Singapore is the only institution offering a master’s programme in speech therapy.
Students in the programme will undergo 30 weeks of clinical practice with various public and private healthcare institutions during their study.
The other undergraduate programme on digital communications and integrated media was also launched in response to industry demand, SIT said.
