Admission requirements
MSc Psychology (research) students. The course is available for students in their second year of the research master’s programme. However, for students who started with the master program in February, special arrangements will be made if they prefer to follow this course in the first year of their master studies. This course is focused on presenting your own research, including your own data, in an oral presentation and on a poster.
Description
The course consists of both plenary (2) and subgroup sessions (6). In the first two plenary sessions the general background to giving an effective presentation will be sketched. Students will be taught a specific structure for their talks, which will be intensively trained by means of practical exercises in the subgroup sessions to allow for optimal feedback. In the subgroup sessions, students will also be taught how to present their research on a poster.
