We offer pre-registration professional degrees in Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Speech and Language Therapy. In addition, we offer a post-qualification Master's and CPD programme in Hearing, Balance and Communication.

Our Mission is to advance health and well-being through world-class, impactful, collaborative research and evidence-based education, underpinned by a core set of inclusive values. 

The School has clinical partnerships with the health service, voluntary organisations and private providers which support our student clinical placement. Additionally, Audiology, Occupational Therapy and Speech and Language Therapy clinics are situated in the UCC Brookfield Health Sciences Complex.

Our staff pursue research in their respective disciplines which aligns with the UCC Futures focus areas of Future of Health, Ageing and Brain Science, Children and Collective Social Futures. The Dean and Head of School is Professor Joseph McVeigh.
