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 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.

Excellent clinical training opportunities through the University’s Hearing and Tinnitus Clinic which provides a service to the community. Study with staff who have major research interests in prevention of noise induced hearing loss, tinnitus treatments and understanding of the auditory processing of sound.
