Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Philosophy (by research only)

Suitably qualified candidates can study aspects of scientific communication through research only degrees at the level of Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy. Generally, entry to these programs requires a Bachelor of Science with Honours at the level of IIA or above.

The diversity of the discipline of scientific communication means that the areas available for study are also diverse. Some research projects completed or currently under investigation include the following but are not restricted to these topics:

• The analysis of the perceptions of risk in the immunisation debate
• Mental modelling of chemical relationships
• Public perceptions of experts in mental illness
• The role of museums and science centres in public awareness
• The relationship between industry and universities - the cultural divide
• The role of science theatre in public awareness
• The history of significant scientific and technical developments
