MPhil in Science and Technology Studies

The MPhil in Science and Technology Studies (STS) at CREST will introduce students to these different dimensions and aspects of science as a complex social system, with a focus on South Africa. Students can choose between two specialisations and a general programme option. The successful completion of the requirements of the chosen option will result in the MPhil in STS being awarded.

MA and PhD (By Research)

Research masters-level degrees require candidates to conceptualize and implement an original research project, under supervision, and to submit a thesis reporting on the work. The entry requirements for a research MA are an existing Honours-level qualification with strong academic performance therein. We also invite candidates interested in PhD level study in the broad area of science communication to contact us to explore opportunities. The entry requirements for a PhD are an existing M-level qualification with strong academic performance therein.

SciCOM is the South African Research Chair in Science Communication. SciCOM is hosted by Stellenbosch University at the Department of Journalism (DoJ).
