Would you like to help make science and technology understandable, relevant and engaging for different audiences? On the one-year Master's degree programme in Science Communication, you will learn how to translate research-based knowledge into communication that creates insight, dialogue and action.

You will complete an intensive, research-based one-year programme, earning a full Master's degree while specialising in a growing field of great importance to society. The programme combines theory and practice, allowing you to explore the latest perspectives on science communication while developing practical communication skills.

You will learn, among other things, how to communicate science to different audiences, assess and communicate research findings, work with responsible research and innovation, and use digital communication formats and artificial intelligence. Throughout the programme, you can draw on your scientific background and collaborate with researchers and external partners on real-world challenges.

The one-year Master's degree programme in Science Communication is a focused programme in which most courses are predetermined. 

The programme combines specialised courses with a 15 ECTS final project, which you will work on during the final part of the programme. The project can either be a theoretical investigation or a practice-oriented communication project.

Teaching is conducted in English, but you have the option of writing assignments and projects in Danish.

During the programme, you will work with communication for different audiences, evaluation of research and research literature, argumentation and communication genres, responsible research and innovation, open science, research integrity, artificial intelligence, as well as the history and philosophy of science. Practical elements such as science journalism, academic writing, digital production and visual communication are integrated into the teaching.

The programme gives you the opportunity to combine your scientific expertise with communication skills and collaborate with researchers and external organisations on real-world communication projects.

The academic regulations for Science Communication will be available in late autumn 2026.

The academic regulations contain further information about the content of the individual courses. You can also find information about the structure of the programme and the requirements you must meet as a student, including examination formats and requirements.

Student associations bring students together

The Department of Mathematics offers a wide range of social and academic student associations run by volunteers. These associations organise, among other things, traditional celebrations and events where you can meet fellow students – including students from disciplines other than your own.

• Kalkulerbar (Friday bar)
  Every Friday afternoon, you can spend a few relaxing hours at Kalkulerbar, the Friday bar for Mathematics, Mathematics-Economics and Data Science. A couple of times each semester, events such as quizzes and beer pong evenings are held.
• TÅGEKAMMERET
  The party and lecture association is called TÅGEKAMMERET. In addition to organising parties and lectures, the association's meeting room serves as a social hub for students.
• Mads Føk
  Students from a number of science programmes share a student magazine called Mads Føk. The magazine is published four times a year and features both serious and humorous articles contributed by students themselves.
