Masters (MSc) in Science Communication. Dublin City University

March 20, 2009 | Informal/Formal Connections
The Masters (MSc) in Science Communication at Dublin City University (Ireland) 
draws on expertise from several disciplines in human and physical sciences.
The programme takes a broad view of communication that includes the various 
kinds of interaction between institutions of science and of society, as well
as the diverse means of exchanging information and ideas. Nearly 200 students
from a wide variety of backgrounds have completed the programme since its
start in 1996, and they work in many different types of employment, from 
information and outreach services, to science centres, to publishing and 
journalism. Through the programme, and in the dissertation in particular,
 students are encouraged to reflect critically on the place and performance
of science in society, and on relations between the cultures of natural sciences
and of humanities and social sciences.
