The Centre for the Public Awareness of Science offers the unique opportunity to study courses in science
communication in conjunction with mainstream science. Undergraduate
students can complete a Bachelor of Science (Science Communication)
or add a Science Communication major to the Bachelor of Science degree. Undergraduate courses provide training in science presentation and writing as well as
analysis of science and technology issues in the context of the wider
community. Electives can also be added to existing degree programs,
allowing students to add to their science or arts degree the
communication skills hotly sought after by employers.
Electives allow you to learn more about human nature and the philosophy
of science, placing science in the context of the everyday lives of
people.
Eligible graduates from this program will be able to continue in
Honours in mainstream science areas or in science communication. Your
newly found skills will not limit your choices but will give you an
added advantage over your colleagues who have a conventional BSc. |
