Description
The Science Communication Unit at UWE Bristol is delighted to once again invite applications for this popular part-time online course, which will run from 16 January 2023 to 24 March 2023.
You will develop the practical skills and theoretical understanding needed for effective, science-based public engagement from the team behind UWE Bristol's highly regarded Science Communication postgraduate programmes.
The course is designed to work flexibly alongside other commitments, with assignments that can be tailored to a current role or used to explore new possibilities. The eight units are taught over ten weeks (including two private-study weeks), with approximately ten hours study time each week.
You are required to have a minimum degree level qualification (or equivalent), though this does not need to be in a science-based subject. On completion you will gain 30 Masters-level credits (UK) or 7.5 ECTS (EU).
For further information please contact us on science.communication@uwe.ac.uk.
Topics include
- Event design
- Understanding audience
- Project planning
- Presentation skills
- Event promotion and evaluation
