Science Communication MSc

University of Sheffield

We believe that science holds the key to making the world a better place, and that when science is misunderstood, the consequences can be dire. Science communicators are essential, and we want to train you to do it well.This course will help you to develop the skills to communicate science effectively to a wide range of audiences. It's designed around developing you as a science communicator, rather than being a marketing course, and is taught by leading scientific researchers, professional science broadcasters, and experts from the School of Journalism, Media and Communication.Through hands-on training, you’ll learn how to engage, educate and entertain people without the same specialist knowledge, covering the latest topics in science. You’ll target a range of different audiences, from science policy and business sectors, to the general public from all ages and backgrounds, giving you an insight into the breadth of potential science communication careers you could pursue.
