Description

The Master鈥檚 degree culminates in a science communication project of the student鈥檚 own design. This project is documented by a project report, or a portfolio of science communication writings, or a science documentary, or a podcast, or any other mode of communication. The student's work is guided by an academic supervisor. It also is supported by a variety of key skill programmes. Students are expected to construct a project that includes original research, deliberate methodological choices, and shows relevance to significant conversations within the discipline. The project should represent the very best science communication a student can produce in their medium of choice.
