This double degree is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills and
understanding of the role of science and communication in society.
There is an increasing need for scientists to be able to communicate their work
and its importance to colleagues in other rapidly diverging fields, and to
grant-awarding bodies as well as to industry and the community in general.
There is also a need for people with specialised and flexible communication
skills to make science accessible to the general public.
A

receive the awards of Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts (Communication):
(a) complete a total of 192 but not more than 216 points, comprising at
