The School of Audiology and Speech Sciences (SASS) in the Faculty of Medicine at University of British Columbia is the only Ph.D. program in British Columbia that offers doctoral education in the field of human communication, its disorders, and related areas.

Key facts:

SASS faculty are internationally renowned for their research. In addition to mentoring and training Ph.D. students, faculty members are regularly sought after to provide specific expertise. They often introduce cutting-edge techniques used by clinicians and institutions throughout B.C., across Canada, and around the world.
