21 students win right to continue audiology studies

Twenty-one students at Athlone Institute of Technology, who had been told last month that their degree programme in audiology had been cancelled, will be able to complete the course.

The High Court had heard the institute had been forced to cancel the only audiology undergraduate course in Ireland because the Higher Education Authority refused to fund it.

This, the college claimed, was because the HSE would not guarantee the students with clinical placements.
