objectives
The SCS courses train you in practical and theoretical aspects of science communication. Internships help you decide whether you want to choose a career in science communication or Life Science research or a combination.
The entire MSc programme in combination with the Science Communication and Society (SCS) specialisation consists of two components:
* Life Science and Technology component ( 60 – 80 EC)
* Science Communication and Society component (40 – 60 EC)
Preferably, you follow the LST component during the first year of the programme and the Science Communication and Society component during the second year.
