Master of Science Communication at ANU
For the Master of Science Communication, students can choose from two in-depth capstone experiences – Research Projects and/or Fieldwork Placements to suit pathways into academia, research, industry and policy contexts, or practical environmental and conservation communication, science centres, outreach and more. If your honours or other postgraduate qualifications are from the past seven years, you may be eligible for credit subject to approval (e.g. a cognate honours reduces the two-year masters to one year).
Bachelor of Science (major in science communication)
The Science Communication major is designed to complement traditional science disciplines and provide a strong foundation for careers in professional science communication.
The core courses offer training in presenting and writing about science for various audiences, analysing science and technology issues within a broader societal context, and researching public perceptions of science.
This major is an excellent addition for students pursuing scientific careers, as it enhances communication skills and social awareness—qualities that are increasingly sought after by employers in the science sector.
