I have replied to Sharon off-line. However others may be interested to
know that in the 7 years of our MSc in Communicating Science we have had
nearly 50 graduates, and just about all are working in the field of
science communication, the majority in the UK but a number overseas.
Cheers, Sue Cavell.

postgrad

information

talk a

> communication are still working in the field 5 years after graduating?
> Roughly what percentage of applicants gain a place on a given MSc
course? etc
> Any information along these lines will be much appreciated and
I will, of
> course, credit the source of this info in my talk (unless anyone would
> rather I didn't!)
> I look forward to (hopefully) hearing from someone!
