MA in Science Communication is the perfect step forward to broaden your skills and career options while developing your passion for science. The Science Communication MA at Kent is unique in that it includes both practical and critical aspects of the subject. You engage with a variety of media, including print, audio-visual and web-based presentation. You are taught by lecturers in medical and science humanities, and by scientists. These include nationally recognised teachers, a blogger for a national newspaper, museum experts and regulars on national media. The programme aims to: equip students to communicate science effectively in a variety of media; enable students to understand the social and professional processes by which scientific knowledge is made and communicated; give students an understanding of the process of scientific investigation; provide a stimulating, research-active environment for teaching and learning in which students are supported and motivated to achieve academic and personal potential; facilitate learning experience (integration and application of knowledge) through a variety of teaching and assessment methods; give students the experience of undertaking an independent research project; prepare students for further training and employment in science and non-science based careers by developing transferable and cognitive skills; develop the qualities needed for employment in situations requiring the exercise of professionalism, independent thought, personal responsibility and decision-making in complex and unpredictable circumstances Provide access to as wide a range of students as practicable. Careers are possible in the museum world, scientific lobbying, media and new media, journalism, science and medical writing, public engagement and outreach, and many more areas.
