Effective communication is critical for complex graduate research. This course is designed to help graduate students improve their English presentation skills for academic settings, with a focus on Three Minutes Thesis (3MT) presentations. 3MT presentations challenge students to convey their research in just three minutes, using language that is accessible to a general audience.
This course aims to equip students with the skills and knowledge required to present their research in a clear, structured, and focused manner while managing their time effectively. Students will also develop oral delivery techniques, body language, and confidence through in-class presentation practice. Overall, mastering 3MT presentation skills can help graduate students become more effective communicators and these skills will be applicable to almost all forms of academic or professional presentations.
