Aim

The course gives graduate students the opportunity to develop their ability to communicate research results to different target groups outside of academia. Emphasis is placed on the use of the rhetorical process to analyse, plan and implement different types of communication.

The course focusses on oral research communication, but students are expected to actively use different communication methods, not only spoken but communication through writing, listening and reading.

A message of admission will be sent approximately six weeks before the course starts.
