As part of its Workplace Essentials programme, the Digital and Academic Skills team is running a brand new public speaking workshop series in semester 1 2025-26.

Who it's for

Public speaking is an essential skill for success both at university and in the workplace. It is a skill everyone will benefit from, but it can sometimes be challenging. If anxiety and uncertainty are getting in the way and you would like to build your confidence when public speaking, this workshop series is for you.

What we will cover

This is a four-week series, and you will need to sign up to the series. The workshops are not available to enrol onto individually.

The series will cover a different topic each week:

  • Week 1 (8 October 2025): Overcoming Public Speaking Anxiety
  • Week 2 (15 October 2025): Structuring an Effective Speech
  • Week 3 (22 October 2025): Engaging the Audience
  • Week 4 (29 October 2025): Delivering a Confident Speech
