Bachelor of Science (Science Communication)

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.

Precise details of the program requirements can be found here.
