Dear all,
The MSc programme in Science Communication at Dublin City University (DCU) is currently recruiting, for anyone interested. Please forward as appropriate.
Regards,
Padraig
************
The MSc in Science Communication is based in the School of Communications in Dublin City University. Dublin has been designated the ESOF City of Science 2012.
In studying science communication with us, you examine how complex and uncertain information is communicated between various social groups such as research scientists and policy-makers, science writers and broadcasters and the general public.
You also consider critically the many cultural, ethical and social implications of science’s growing role and of the increasing concern with individual and public health.
You are welcome on the programme if you come from a background in natural sciences, humanities or social sciences. We aim to take all students beyond the confines of their particular disciplines to reflect on how each contributes to the other, and how all contribute to the total cultural fabric. The programme combines theory with some practical training in communication skills.
More than 200 students from a wide variety of backgrounds have completed the programme since its start in 1996, and they work in many different types of employment, from information and outreach services, to public policy agencies, to science centres, to publishing and journalism.
