Science Education and Communication

Then the Master’s programme in Educatie en Communicatie in de Bètawetenschappen (Science Education and Communication) may be your choice.

In this programme, you will gain theoretical insights and practical skills in formal and informal educational practices. Your science discipline will be put in a broader societal perspective, and you will develop your own views on how your discipline should be relevant to secondary education and to the public at large. The internships and the research project in science education and communication will support you to develop as a skillful practitioner as well as innovator.


After the first semester, you will specialise in one of the tracks:
- Teacher Degree (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics or Computer Science)
- Research and Development in Science Education and Communication

As a graduate of this programme, your job perspectives may include science and mathematics teacher, educational researcher, staff member at a science museum, or communication advisor at a public health institution. There is a strong need in society for such professionals who can bridge the gap between science and the public, both in formal education, and in informal settings.
