Overview

The Science Media Production MSc programme from Imperial is for people with science, technology or medicine backgrounds, or graduates from other backgrounds with substantial experience in a scientific environment, who want to develop careers communicating science in broadcast media, probably in documentary or other factual programming.

Through both academic and practical taught modules, the course allows a greater focus on broadcast media than the more general MSc in Science Communication.

Instead of an academic dissertation, you will undertake an independent production project.

Work placement

The work placement allows you to develop the skills and knowledge gained on the course in the real world of broadcast science communication.
Placements are set up through the College, although you may also undertake your own initiatives in consultation with the College.
