Workshop in August​

The aim of the August 2023 online workshop will be to introduce participants to basic public speaking skills, to improve their oral presentations and to deliver academic knowledge/research content to different audiences. On completion of the two-day workshop, participants will have a good understanding of:

  • The different types of academic speeches.
  • Techniques to apply and to adapt for different speech/presentation delivery.
  • Techniques to prepare for Q & A sessions.
  • Activities to explore the type of speaker/communicator they are and areas to improve.

Cost

This workshop opportunity is funded by the Postgraduate Office.​​ There is no cost involved for registered SU postgraduates who sign up and attend, however, in the case of late cancellations or non-attendance, applicants will be responsible for the full workshop fee since late cancellations and non-attendance have considerable cost implications for our office.  

Target audience

SU Master's and doctoral candidates primarily.
