The essential guide to the most transferable of all student skills: delivering a presentation clearly, coherently and confidently.

Written in a friendly and accessible style, Presentation Skills for Students takes the fear out of public speaking and helps students to acquire the skills they need to deliver effective presentations at university and in their future careers.

With a range of practical examples and exercises to help build confidence, it takes students through every step in the process from choosing a topic, preparing presentation material and visual aids

to what to do on the day itself.

This revised and restructured edition also includes practical guidance on:

- Online and recorded presentations - Working in groups - Making presentations accessible and inclusive - Managing your nerves

- Job interview presentations

This is an invaluable resource for students of all disciplines in further or higher education who have to give presentations as part of their course. It is also ideal for recent graduates looking to hone their presentation skills as they enter the job market.
