The Master of Audiology (MAud) provides a professional training programme
for clinical audiologists in New Zealand. The programme is offered at the School of Population Health at the Tamaki Campus in new, specialist clinical, research
and teaching facilities. These include the University's Hearing and Tinnitus Clinic
which provides a service to the community and excellent opportunities for clinical
training, and The Oticon Foundation Hearing Education Centre which provides continuing
education for practising audiologists.
The MAud is a two-year researched-based programme which is recognised by the New
Zealand Audiological Society (NZAS). Becoming an audiologist involves the
completion of the two-year masters programme, followed by one further year of
supervised clinical practice leading to a Certificate of Clinical Competence
provided by the NZAS. This is normally undertaken while employed in an audiology
clinic.
