- Regulations for the Postgraduate Certificate in Science Communication (PGCertSciComm)
Applications for this general qualification are now being accepted for 2023. While we are still teaching filmmaking, writing, and engagement with society, the following endorsements are not offered from 2023: Creative Non-Fiction Writing in Science, Science and Natural History Filmmaking, and Science in Society, as they are in the process of being discontinued.
Overview
The Postgraduate Certificate in Science Communication (PGCertSciComm) caters for a range of students – those with no prior experience in science communication who want an introduction to the discipline as well as those who are already professional science communicators and have a desire to fill a skills gap or increase their understanding of the science of science communication.
The PGCertSciComm can be taken full-time in one semester or part-time over a longer period.
Distance or on-campus papers
You can choose to take all of the papers on campus or substitute specific distance papers for on-campus papers.
This means that you can complete the PGCertSciComm either:
- all on campus
- all by distance, or
- by a combination of on-campus and distance papers.
See the programme requirements table below for the paper options.
