In this course, you will get a general overview of the field of science communication and its knowledge base, and you will implement that information during your internship. You will be working in a science communication or education organization, while at the same time you will follow (some) educational sessions at university. You will experience this work environment, carry out all kinds of relevant tasks, seek active contact with the target audience(s) and meanwhile work on one main task: developing a concrete communication / education (CE) product for your organization / supervisor. This CE product will be designed using literature and has to be finished and handed in together with a (research- or evidence-based) report on why and how the product was made. In addition, you will have to reflect on your own professional development by means of learning aims which you have set up for yourself at the start of the internship. International students, please note that it may not always be possible to organize a product development task with an organization other than Utrecht University.
