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 Physics research.
The entire MSc programme in combination with the Science Communication and Society (SCS) specialisation consists of two components:
* Physics component (60 – 80 EC)
* Science communication and Society component (40 – 60 EC)
The 2-year programme consists of a Physics component, to be followed in the first year, and a Science Communication and Society component, followed in the second year. The Physics component of the SCS specialisation includes mandatory courses (15 EC), a research project (36 EC) and electives (9 EC). The science communication component of the specialisation includes coursework (23 EC), internship(s) and research proposal (minimum of 17 EC).
Preferably, you follow the Physics component during the first year of the programme and the SCS component during the second year.

Na de studie
Beroepsperspectief / arbeidsmarkt
This specialization prepares students for a career in science communication, e.g. as a science communicator, a science policymaker or a public relations or health communication officer, or for a career as a scientist with a communicating mind-set. The experiences and insights gained will be of benefit to those who intend to continue in an academic environment, for example as a PhD candidate in their own specialist field. The ability to communicate about science is an essential skill for all scientists.
