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 prefer a more generalised degree in science communication, or whose professional interests overlap between areas.
