Today’s most urgent societal issues—such as COVID-19, climate change, and the effects of emerging technologies—are deeply rooted in scientific understanding. In an era dominated by social media, clickbait headlines, and misinformation, innovative approaches to communicating science and engaging diverse groups and communities are crucial.
The Master of Science in Society is a cross-disciplinary program designed to address these needs. It explores the social context and communication of science, integrating mātauranga Māori and other forms of knowledge. The program includes a blend of taught courses, research projects, and a final project of your choice, equipping you with the skills to navigate and influence the intersection of science and society.
