Science Communication Group
We offer two postgraduate taught courses named MSc Science Communication and MSc Science Media Production. These provide a balanced technical and theoretical training for science graduates and scientists aiming to become journalists, broadcast producers, museum professionals, or press and public relations officers. Our courses are highly relevant to those seeking careers in public engagement or science policy. Graduates of our programmes are very successful in finding jobs in the competitive world of science media.
The Science Communication Group has its origins in 1991 when we launched the first science communication masters degree in the UK. We are interested in all aspects of the communication of science in public contexts, including the representation of science in the media and the role of science in general culture. Our interests combine theory and practice, and our seven members of permanent staff include media practitioners and science communication researchers.
We also welcome enquires from those interested in undertaking a doctoral research in science communication studies.
The application deadline for both MSc courses is 17.00 on Friday the 24th of February 2012.
