Out of 12 students doing field work 2004, 10 have
completed their studies. Their theses are
available at www.sciencecommunication.se in
pdf-format. Out of those, two were master
students while working at a science centre. Five
more have to date got a job (full-time or
part-time) at a science centre after
graduation. Also two of present students and five
who plan to start in August are presently working
at science centres.
