Overseas Programmes (UK)

UNDERGRADUATE

Science & Engineering Design for Global Talents

Students on this programme can broaden their viewpoints by observing and interacting with overseas science communication organisations. The internship is designed to make them experience the importance of communication between people so that they can nurture rich social capabilities while realising their position as researchers.

Science communication is not simply a way to bring scientific messages to the wider world. It is about enabling progress in society by understanding, re-interpreting and delivering the essence of scientific discoveries to multiple audiences. This ability can strengthen a student’s career path in both industry and academia, and contribute to develop research and business across boundaries.

GRADUATE

Science Communication for Global Talents

Graduate students on this programme can experience the importance of science communication and develop extensive social skills. Visiting institutions abroad can broaden your horizon and provide a fresh perspective on the relationship between science and society, and its significance to your own special subject. The programme includes two sets of activities:

1. A practical experience at the London Science Museum.

2. Visits and discussions to several institutions active in science communication, e.g. the London Science Museum, the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, the Royal Society, the Royal Institution, the Royal Academy of Engineering.
