Posters are an effective way to present your research and highlight key areas of your work. In this course you will gain information and suggestions on how to create a poster, and you will practise presenting your poster to an interdisciplinary audience. 

Course Information

This course includes pre-course activities (1h30) to complete in your own time, and course activities (2h) to engage with during the live course: you will receive the credit by participating in all pre-course and course activities.

In preparation for the live course you are expected to watch a short video, read the provided handout and prepare a poster about your research project. You can decide what part of your project you want to present: for example, if you are a first-year student, you could explain the background of your project; if you are a final year student, you could present your results.

In the live course you will clarify doubts and practice your poster presentation in front of an interdisciplinary audience and give and receive feedback. Live sessions are available on different dates as online interaction or as in-person workshop. Please check details when booking.
