Do you want to hone your science writing technique? Well, the Science Communication Unit at UWE Bristol is offering a 10-week online course aimed at giving participants the confidence and know-how to write clear, engaging stories that stay true to the science. Whether you’re a scientist who wants to write for lay audiences, a science communicator looking to hone your skills or someone who is completely new to the field, the Online and Media Writing course will appeal to you.

We’ll take you right through the process from spotting a good story, to developing a narrative and then structuring your writing effectively. We’ll show you how to adapt your writing to different audiences, as well as how to make what you write more visible online. We’ll also guide you through different writing styles, such as blogs, press releases and ‘long form’ articles. You’ll receive individual feedback on what you write.

The course is delivered entirely online in a way that allows you to fit your studies around other commitments. You will complete assessed work as part of this course and on successful completion receive transferrable credits (ECTS).
