Presenting your Research
Being able to present your work to a range of specialist and non-specialist audiences is a very important skill as a researcher. Find out more here about our training on presenting and opportunities to present your research in annual competitions for PGRs.
Presenting Training Courses
Presenting your research is a key skill for PGRs. You may be presenting to your research group, at an academic conference or to the general public through public engagement activities. This can be daunting but we have a range of training courses to help you develop confidence and create beautiful and engaging presentations.
Self paced training: Sharing Your Research
As you find out new things in your research, you are going to want to share these with others. One way to do this is to build a professional online presence as a researcher. Another is by giving presentations, both within your school or institute, and at conferences. These materials suggest that you cultivate a digital footprint which is visible, credible, consistent and something you are comfortable with. It's time to get creative!
