Who should attend

Staff and postgraduate students looking to develop their understanding of how to prepare an effective presentation. Postgraduate students looking for specific guidance on presenting in a research environment should check if any courses are running that may be more suitable.

 

Course Description

This course is all about preparing for presentations and considering the skills you will need to deliver them effectively.

 

Topics covered include:

Structure

• Hooking your audience with your introduction
• Developing your content in a compelling way
• Finishing with a great conclusion

Techniques

• Using your voice
• Using your body language
• Great visual aids
• Mastering the tech – either presenting in person or on-line

And – how to gain confidence in all of this!

This course should enable you to gain the knowledge required to develop great presentations. However, knowing how to do something and being able to do it are two different things. Once you have attended this course you will be able to book on to the Presentation Skills – Practice and Review. On that course you will be asked to present, both using visual aids and without, and you will receive feedback to help with your further development.

 

On-line

This course is also offered as a shorter on-line version.
