Outline and Purpose of the Course Giving a presentation at an international workshop provides an important platform for students to develop their oral presentation skills and streamline their means of communication. It also provides them with an excellent opportunity to interact and discuss with scholars on subjects from various fields of interest. This will in turn enable students to connect their disciplinary field of studies to the new ideas they have learned, and thereby help them enhance their academic performance and research excellence. This ad-hoc course is organised with these novel aims in mind.
Course Goals Students are expected to acquire valuable experience and skills in preparing and presenting content from their research project at an international and academic setting.
