Short Course: Influence and Persuasion

Learn about communication styles, how to recognise them, and how to adapt your own to make your message more convincing.

Starts 13 May

Maximise your academic potential and gain transferable communicative skills alongside your core studies

Are you wondering how to get more from your studies? Do you want to manage or perform better in academic tasks? Are you looking for ways to deal with academic struggles? Focussing on developing core abilities can help.

UT Skills Lab courses and workshops are designed to provide BSc and MSc students with two things: immediate assistance with academic tasks, and a means to develop communicative skills that are useful within and beyond university. They do not bear academic credits, but you will gain a certificate of attendance.

You can attend with a specific task in mind (e.g. a presentation, group work, thesis), out of general interest, or to meet people with similar interests (or struggles!) from other programmes.

What will you choose to improve this quartile?
