Master of Science Communication (MSciComm)
The University of Otago offers a unique post graduate degree in science communication: the Master of Science Communication (MSciComm). The task is so big and so cool, we work together with NHNZ, award winning writers, museums, script writers, poets (yes, really) and a host of other experts.
We’ll train, challenge, market and package you into a lean, mean Science Communicator machine and send you off to make your mark on the world. Choose the place to make your mark from the following three options for the MSciComm:
Want to be the next David Attenborough? We work with NHNZ, the world’s second largest producer of documentaries. You’ll be driven hard to script, edit, produce, film and present a film to a baying audience. Don’t like the sound of pressure and deadlines? Don’t do this option.
The written word still rules, it might be on an iPad rather than vellum, but it’s alive and well. We’ll teach you to cut, chop and hone your writing until it’s tighter than a lettuce’s stomata in a heat wave. Fancy another verb with that? Don’t do this option.
Science is everywhere, so you need to be too. From museum foyers to mud splattered tourist notices deep in the bush, people want to know stuff. A lot of people never leave home, so if they’re living through the web it’s up to you to give them a good life. Digital media is the ride of the future – get on board. Dislike people? Don’t do this option.
