A new Masters in Science Communication is being offered
by the University of the West of England in collaboration
with the University of Bristol and at-Bristol. It will run
from January 2004 and is a practically focused programme
offering career development opportunities to those already
working or aiming to work as science communicators.
The course has parallel Science and the Public and Science
and the Media strands which will both give students the
opportunity to build a portfolio of work that demonstrates
their ability as science communicators. It is part-time,
two years in duration and is structured around short
intensive teaching sessions. It will be coordinated from
UWE by Frank Burnet [Professor of Science Communication,
Co-Director of Cheltenham Festival of Science] and Emma
Weitkamp [Senior Lecturer in Science Communication]
The course team includes Kathy Sykes [Professor of Public
Engagement in Science and Technology, University of
Bristol, Co-Director Cheltenham Festival of Science] John
Durant [Chief Executive at-Bristol], Melanie Quin [Chief
Executive of Ecsite UK], Tim Radford [Science Editor, The
Guardian], Toby Murcott [Broadcaster] and Malcolm Love
[TV and Radio Producer and Trainer].
