Presentation Skills: Structure and Technique

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.
