Course summary

The MSc in Science Communication is an 18 month full-time/24 month part-time blended programme designed to equip students with the skills to communicate science-related topics effectively to diverse audiences, including non-experts. As science plays an increasingly central role in addressing global challenges, from pandemics and climate change to artificial intelligence and food security, there is a growing need for professionals who can bridge the gap between science and society.

Students will engage with a range of media and formats, including digital tools, art, and public events, to craft compelling science narratives. The course is applied in nature, offering hands-on experience through workshops, real-world projects, and the planning and delivery of a science communication event.
