Courses for Science Communicators

What follows is a partial list of courses in science communication and journalism that cater either for science graduates or, as is more common, graduates in general.

The list comprises those full-time one-year postgraduate courses that are approved or accredited by one or more of the Association of British Science Writers, the Broadcast Journalism Training Council, the National Council for the Training of Journalists, and the Periodicals Training Council.

Courses are listed under four headings: Science Communication, General Journalism, Broadcasting (including multimedia) and Periodicals. Lastly, there are details of a couple of part-time courses for those who are not looking for a full-time course.

Health warning

These web addresses are a moveable feast. Universities often move them without telling anyone. (Why should they?) If you come up against a brick wall, hunt around. And why not tell us if you come across a changed address? Preferably with updated details.
