Advance your clinical and research expertise
Develop your research and clinical expertise and become a specialist in your field of speech and language therapy.
Massey’s Master of Speech and Language Therapy provides qualified speech language therapists with opportunities for advanced clinical and theoretical study.
You’ll develop research skills that will prepare you to use and add to the knowledge base in speech and language therapy.
This programme will give you expertise in core areas such as evidence-based practice and research methods. You can also follow your interests in specialist areas that reflect your individual passions and/or client caseloads. Postgraduate studies at Massey will reflect your current or desired work context.
We tailor assignments and thesis topics to your interests, and pair you with an academic mentor who has expertise in your subject area. Your mentor will support and guide you through coursework and thesis completion.
Our programme is very flexible, with options for studying full-time or part-time. You can also complete the programme through distance learning.
Our students live all over New Zealand and overseas. They tell us they find their studies interesting, inspiring and relevant.
If you have a Bachelor of Speech and Language Therapy (Honours) degree or equivalent, with at least a B grade average, you are eligible to advance directly into the thesis component of the degree (Part B).
This programme provides a solid foundation for entry into a PhD in Speech and Language Therapy.
Please note that successfully completing the MSLT does not ensure employment as a speech-language therapist in New Zealand. If you completed your undergraduate qualification outside of New Zealand, then you will need to have that qualification assessed and approved by the New Zealand Speech and Language Therapists’& Association (NZSTA) before you can enter the profession in New Zealand. It is your responsibility to organise this assessment if you would like to work in New Zealand.
