Mathematics and Science Communication and Society (MSc)

About the programme

The specialisation combines one year of Mathematics research (60 - 80 EC) with one year of science communication courses, internships and research (40-60 EC).

Programme overview

If you choose SCS  you need to follow the SCS programme (40-60 EC) and therefore will have a reduced Mathematics programme, which consists of a research project (40 EC) and 20 EC of courses to be selected in correspondence with the research topic. The science communication component of the specialisation includes coursework, internship(s) and a science communication research project.
