Endorsements
For all of our postgraduate degrees (with the exception of the PhD), students’ coursework, creative projects and academic theses can be tailored to one of three technical areas:
- Science and Natural History Filmmaking (SNHF)
- Creative Nonfiction Writing in Science (CNFW)
- Science in Society (SSOC)
An unendorsed option is available for students who are undecided, prefer a more generalised degree in science communication, or whose professional interests overlap between areas.
Science and Natural History Filmmaking

Taught in association with NHNZ - the world’s second-largest producer of documentaries - the course is coordinated by award-winning filmmakers who are some of the best in the business.

Discover how to communicate science most effectively with the written word.

You will also learn about the process of digital publishing and how to create multimedia publications.

Science in Society
From the internet to installations, you will learn how to communicate science in the digital realm or in the physical world of museums and other places. Maybe you'll develop an exhibition, an art installation, a digital platform, a science communication framework for policymakers, or, just maybe, it'll be something you haven't even dreamed of yet... an invention that moves the masses.
