Course description and aims
Students will experience the importance of science communication such that they will become a researcher with extensive social skills. The course splits into two programs for 1. practical experience at London's science museum and 2. visits and discussions to several institutions active in science communication, including the London science museum.
The goal of this course is to use the overseas science communication institutes to broaden your horizon and provide a fresh perspective on the relationship between science and society, and its significance to your own special subject.
Student learning outcomes
Through this programme, students will understand the relationships between science and society and how different methods of science communication are being applied in different organisations to communicate to different audiences.
Students will also be able to strengthen their English and communication skills.
