The University of the West of England offers this this level 7 (Masters level) module that will introduce you to science writing techniques that are suitable for non-academic audiences.

This 15 credit Applied Science Communication: Online and Media Writing module will introduce you to science writing techniques that are suitable for non-academic audiences. It will explore key writing structures and key principles behind non-academic writing with an emphasis on online writing.

A student-centred approach will be taken throughout this online module, and while the module will cover key principles in science writing, it will allow you to focus on forms of writing and audiences you are particularly interested in writing for. The content and assessments will also be applicable to different international contexts.

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to critically evaluate what makes for good science writing and adapt their writing to different types of output and different audiences as well as having an understating of the opportunities the current science writing ecosystem presents.

The module will be taught across 10 weeks of online content (including two private study weeks).

The assessment comprises one 2,500-word science writing portfolio and, on successful completion, you will receive transferable credits (ECTS).

 

The course starts 15 April 2024, and costs £750.
