The Science Communication Unit at UWE Bristol is inviting applications for a part-time, online course, which will run from Monday 16 January to Friday 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.

Topics include;

• event design
• understanding audiences
• project planning
• presentation skills
• event promotion and evaluation

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 15 Masters-level credits (UK) or 7.5 ECTS (EU).  

Course fees are £750
