heiSKILLS Certificate CAS Science Communication

How can we present complex scientific concepts and findings to an interested audience in a way that is both understandable and engaging? What is a core message and how do you plan a communication strategy? What role does science communication play in society and in public discourse?

Start of studies possible from spring 2026

The CAS is currently being revised, and new enrollment will be possible in spring 2026. Everyone already enrolled can continue their participation.

The Certificate in Science Communication (CAS) provides practical answers to these and similar questions. Advanced master's students, doctoral candidates, and employees at Heidelberg University can strengthen their career prospects within and outside of academia and expand their profile with the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Science Communication, which can be completed alongside their studies.
