Key skills for Undergraduate Students

Increasing numbers of student graduates and fewer positions available increases the competition for graduate employment.

Student awareness of their position as customers buying a service may make them more likely to express their views, especially during exercises like the National Student Survey.

Universities are striving to develop a unique selling point, to make their student experience more attractive and relevant to today's prospective students.

Presenting Yourself!

This new workshop is specifically designed to give undergraduate students skills in communication and body language.

This assists them in delivering effective presentations in seminars or in viva voce exams and in presenting themselves confidently and professionally to a prospective employer.

Presenting Yourself has 3 explicit outcomes for participants to:

  • Present themselves confidently;
  • Plan and stucture a presentation;
  • Be prepared for questions.

During this workshop there are opportunities for discussion and interaction, to communicate confidently and to receive constructive feedback on performance. Participants deliver a short presentation and are coached on their performance. By keeping the group sizes small we ensure students have the greatest opportunity to contribute, ask questions and receive supportive feedback from experienced trainers and from their peers.

Further information on developing confident attitudes to help deal with stress are also important components of this training session.

And here's what some course participants have said:

Very well presented workshop. Thank you for answering all the questions! The whole group was really good.
I never experienced a whole group being so interactive and contributive before.
Thomas


Didn't think it would be relevant but it was really good.
I now feel more confident about presentations and job interviews.


Brilliantly organised, great investment of my time.
Would like more courses like this!

quoteI would like to say how much I appreciated the day.
Dr Margaret Collins was extremely motivating and ran a very enjoyable and informative session. I can truthfully say that I have never attended a better course, either here or in the many years I have worked in the commercial sector.
I hope that she will run many further sessions for us in the future.
