Science communication

Science communication is about taking complex science, health and medical ideas, and creating accurate and effective communications that inform, educate and engage audiences. The demand for professionals with a unique combination of design skills and scientific knowledge is growing as the use of visual communications becomes increasingly prevalent within the medical/health community.  

Whether you’re a health professional looking to develop visual communication skills or a design professional looking to gain scientific knowledge to aid in communicating complex medical content, our offering bridges the gap and positions you to seize opportunities in science communication.
