Public Speaking and Presentation Skills

Tutor: Dr Nicole Bugeja

In this practical six-session course, students will develop the confidence and skills to communicate effectively in front of an audience. Through interactive activities and guided practice, they will learn how to prepare, structure, and deliver clear, engaging presentations while developing confidence, self-awareness, and effective communication skills in a supportive learning environment.

The aims of this programme are for the student to:

  • understand the foundations of effective public speaking and presentations;
  • structure ideas into clear, engaging presentations;
  • develop techniques to manage speaking nerves and build confidence;
  • use voice, body language, and eye contact to communicate effectively;
  • engage and connect with different audiences; and
  • give and receive constructive feedback to support continued development.

By the end of the course, the students will be able to:

  • plan and deliver a well-structured presentation with greater confidence;
  • apply techniques to communicate clearly and engage an audience;
  • demonstrate effective use of voice, body language, and visual presence;
  • respond to questions and unexpected situations with greater composure; and
  • reflect on their own speaking skills and identify strategies for continued improvement.
