1. Academic Writing Skills:

This course is designed to set you on the path towards writing clear, accessible and well-structured  academic texts in English. After a general introduction to writing and writing styles, you will be guided through successive drafts of your own English-language text.

2. Academic Presentation in English:

This course will help you design and deliver well-introduced, well-structured, fully audience-focused oral presentations. Where appropriate, we will also focus on aspects of language, body language and nervousness. On the principle that clarity is key to professionalism, we will stress the need to avoid inflated diction and unnecessary jargon.

Although these subjects are compulsory, no credits will be given for it: the courses are intended as a foundation subject that will benefit you for the rest of the Master's programme.
