Professional Science Engagement: Students who are taking a major in Science Communication have the option of undertaking a specialization in Professional Science Engagement. This specialization focuses on advanced, practical skills for engaging the public, government and other sectors of the community with aspects of science. The specialization includes a number of substantial 'real world' experiences communicating science in the public domain, as part of industry placements within science or science communication organizations, and through independently driven public science communication activities. Science communication within the government sector is a focus, as are communicating science to a professional standard via news media, social media and the web, and science dialogue events. Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to: Communicate science confidently and to a professional standard in accessible and appropriate ways with diverse communication partners. Use a range of means, media, and technologies to communicate science in the public domain. Develop and manage strategies to communicate complex and/or controversial science with stakeholders and different sectors of the public. Prepare and disseminate or implement science communication materials and activities both independently and for professional science communication organizations. Cultivate a professional communication profile to advance their career.
