Main focus
; In the course of this master’s programme, students will gain a thorough mastery of key scientific communication principles. They will learn the theoretical and methodological foundations for the study, analysis, evaluation, and improvement of the processes for the production, transfer, and use of scientific information. They will come to understand the different possibilities for the social communication of science and technology through the press, radio, TV, and Internet. This programme will provide students with an in-depth understanding of new information retrieval methods, and techniques in the digital environment. Given their research profile, students will also learn how to successfully carry out their own research.
Competences
Students that have completed the second cycle have the following competencies: – Have demonstrated knowledge and understanding that is founded upon a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and/or applying ideas, often within a research context. – Can apply their acquired knowledge and understanding, and problem solving abilities in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their field of study. – Have the ability to integrate knowledge and handle complexity, and formulate judgments with incomplete or limited information, but that include reflecting on social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgments. – Can communicate their conclusions, and the knowledge and rationale underpinning these, to specialist and non-specialist audiences clearly and unambiguously. – Have the learning skills to allow them to continue to study in a manner that may be largely self-directed or autonomous.
