European University Education in Audiology

These pages document the higher education programs in different universities across Europe in audiology as being coordinated by members of EFAS, the European Federation of Audiological Societies. This initiative is conducted by the German Audiological Society (DGA) with support from the Audiologie-Initiative Niedersachsen, HörTech and the Universität Oldenburg.

On January 17th/18th, 2008, an EFAS Concertation meeting was held in Bad Zwischenahn, Germany in order to

reconsider the concept of the "general audiologist" and the "audiological specialist" as defined by EFAS
review the various implementations of these interdisciplinary (university) education schemes across Europe by the heads of the respective programs
approach a consensus about how university education in audiology should be characterized in Europe in the future.
derive guidelines for developing the current schemes into a common, European, interdisciplinary university education approach in audiology
