  • Your CV
  • Academic transcripts

Please note: When you submit your PGCert or PGDip applications on eVision, you may be instructed to upload additional items (e.g. letters of reference, samples of your creative work). Although those items are required for Masters applications, they are not required for the PGCert or PGDip; however, if you are unable to proceed with your submission on eVision without uploading these requested materials, please submit a cover letter (or blank page) in lieu of those documents.

Application materials for the MAppSci in a science communication endorsement or an MSciComm should include:

  • Your CV
  • Academic transcripts
  • Two confidential referee reports
  • A cover letter that explains why you want to study science communication, and
  • Example of your work that demonstrates creativity

If you are unable to upload examples of your work into the online application form, you may send them directly to us at the Department of Science Communication either via post or electronically. Items sent by post are not returned. Successful applicants have provided a wide variety of different things as examples of their work, including a film clip or podcast, photographs, a piece of creative writing, song lyrics, and art work.
