The program develops skills in tailoring messages for different audiences and channels, applying communication theory, and working across settings such as online communication, journalism, public speaking, popular culture and government. You will learn to plan communication projects that create impact and to respond to risks such as misinformation in science-related debates.

Potential pathways include science communication and engagement roles in universities and research organisations, government and policy agencies, museums and public programs, NGOs, health promotion, media and journalism, digital content and social media, and consultancy supporting public understanding of science. The qualification also supports professionals seeking to add communication leadership skills to technical or research careers.
