De masterspecialisatie Science Communication and Society biedt de studenten de mogelijkheid onderzoekservaringen te combineren met cursussen in diverse aspecten van wetenschapscommunicatie, zoals journalistiek, nieuwe media, museologie en informatievisualisering. De specialisatie bestaat uit twee gedeeltes: het eerste jaar wordt onderwezen in het Engels en richt zich op informatica, het tweede jaar wordt Nederlandstalig gedoceerd en volgt de student het communicatiegedeelte van het curriculum.
Students of this master’s specialisation have an excellent opportunity to broaden their studies outside their own specialist field, and during the internship are able to try out the interesting opportunities offered by a career as scientific communicator or scientific journalist. The experiences and insights gained will be of benefit to those who intend to continue in an academic environment, for example as a PhD candidate in their own specialist field. The ability to communicate about science is an essential skill which all scientists should have mastered!
