People are asking me to provide details about science communication and science journalism courses.
I will try to provide some of the details here.
India:
National Council for Science and Technology Communication under the Ministry of Science has sponsored postgraduate degree and diploma courses in science and technology communication. These have been started in a few universities in India.
Some courses are offered by bodies not related to professional journalism courses but by scientific bodies: http://www.iscos.org/courses.htm#Final_Examination
