Master of Arts [M.A] [Audiology] From University of Auckland

This research-based program is recognized by the New Zealand Audiological Society (NZAS).

Becoming an audiologist involves the completion of the two-year master's program, 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.

Facilities such as the University's Hearing and Tinnitus Clinic and The Oticon Foundation Hearing Education Centre provide excellent opportunities for clinical training and continuing education for practicing audiologists.
