I have thoroughly enjoyed the last three years I have spent at James Cook University. The services provided by the university are exceptional and you know that you will graduate with a first-class degree. The James Cook University provides a positive environment with which to study in. Townsville is a fantastic tropical city in northern Queensland and I would highly recommend JCU to any student!
I started speech pathology in the first year of the course opening at JCU so for me it was a little easier than for potential speech pathology students at other universities. I did not need to achieve a certain OP level, instead I had to write answer four questions related to why I wanted to do the speech pathology course, especially with the universities rural and remote focus in healh-related courses.
The head of the course sends regular emails to members of the degree about scholarships available for speech pathology students. She then puts these up on the JCU Speech Pathology website for all to see! Most of these are for future employment in rural and remote areas though.
My course was a little bit disorganised at first considering we were a new degree however they have improved it dramatically and learned from our mistakes now. We are at uni between 10 and 20 hours a week but it does depend what year of the course you are in (usually less if you are in 4th year...but then there is more work to do outside of uni hours).
There is wireless internet service all around the university campus so anyone with a laptop can access it. There is a on-campus clinic for speech pathology students so that we can get experience under close supervision from our lecturers! I find it easy to manage casual employment with completing my studies.
Fourth year students have been all around Queensland on an 8-week placement at the start of this year. We have been told my all our clinical supervisors that we have a fantastic course and they would be more than happy to employ JCU speech pathology students! I am so happy to have done this course as I know I will get a job from it! I will definitely be keeping in touch with the members of my course. There are 12 girls in my year and all get along really well!
