How can you communicate complex scientific ideas and data effectively? What are the techniques and challenges of science communication in a globalised, polarised and rapidly changing world?

The MSc in Communicating Science and Technology offers you a solid grounding in the theory and practice of communicating science to a wide range of audiences and via a variety of media, old and new.

The course provides training in analysing public attitudes to science, practical skills in creating and communicating scientific content, and guidance in public engagement on contested subjects. Alongside these, it includes core content on equality and diversity in STEMM and innovation, the role of social identities and global dimensions in science communication, the function of the arts in communicating and interpreting science, and the critical importance of sustainability and social responsibility within science and technology communication.

Drawing on the multi-disciplinary expertise of the Institute for STEMM in Culture and Society (ISTEMMiCS) at the University of Birmingham, this programme bridges the gap between the arts and sciences. It is designed to equip students and professionals with a STEMM background with the skills to engage in science communication and enable people trained in the social sciences and humanities, or working in fields from media and the arts to public relations and policy, to apply their knowledge and insights to science and technology.
