Develop an informed, critical and creative approach to communicating science to professional media standards on this Master's course.

You'll study a combination of academic and practical modules in order to prepare you for a range of careers in science communication.

This course will further your critical understanding of communicating scientific ideas to the public.

You'll also advance your technical and conceptual skills by working in a range of media, and gain direct industry experience on a work placement or internship.

A significant component of the course will be an academic dissertation, where you'll apply your knowledge from the course to an element of investigative work.

If you wish to focus solely on broadcast media and filmmaking, we also offer an MSc in Science Media Production.
