 Hi, my name is Samuel Schindler. I'm an associate professor for philosophy of science and I'm the head of teaching at the science studies program. In science studies we seek to understand the nature of science and technology and also the way that science and technology are embedded in society. Some of the questions that we seek to ask in science studies is how science progresses, does it progress bit by bit or does it progress through scientific revolutions? And we also ask a lot of what questions, what is science to begin with, what is a scientific theory or what is a scientific explanation? We also ask what factors have influenced the historical development of science and what role technology has played in it and how science is best communicated to the public. In our research at the center we use a mix of methods, we use historical analysis, philosophical argumentation but also empirical methods such as quantitative surveys, focus groups and bibliometrics. My name is Nick. I'm in my third semester of science studies. I have a background in neuroscience. My name is Sarah and I'm in my second semester of science studies. I have a background in physics. I really like the master's degree in science studies because it gives me a broader understanding of how science and technology has impacted the world over time. It also gives me the freedom to explore different avenues of science which I have never really thought about. It helps me to see science from a different perspective. It creates this kind of relationship between science, culture and society. My main interest in the master's of science studies are science communication, focus on gender and also environmental communication. And how we can use different fun techniques to explain science to general people. I also like that I have the freedom to take other modules. My main interests are neuroscience so I get to take modules in molecular biology which is fantastic. If you're interested in pursuing a master's in science studies, you need a bachelor's in natural science or a bachelor's in another subject but then you need 30 ECTS in natural science and 60 ECTS in the area of science studies. So the master's degree consists of 120 ECTS in total, 60 ECTS from courses offered by our center, 30 ECTS electives and 30 ECTS for the thesis. There's also an option to do an internship with a company or to spend a semester abroad with one of our partner universities. Graduates in science studies find employment both in the private and public sectors. Graduates have found employment as project managers, as teachers and as academics. I would like to work within the field of science communication such as research or writing in newspapers or magazines or blogging. And my master's gives me the tools to explain this and deliver this in a better way. So my dream job would essentially be working in neuroscience research. I'm hoping to continue at the biotech company that I'm currently interning at and my dream is essentially to become a neuroscientist. My everyday life as a student involves going to my courses at university, reading a lot and working from home to have my job. So we would be very happy if you could join us at the center for the master's in science studies. And if you want to read more about our program please visit css.au.ec
