Studying at university

Speaking in social situations does not come easily for everyone. If you are about to start studying at university, you may be feeling nervous leaving your family and friends and going to a new place where there are hundreds of new students from different backgrounds to get to know.

Being able to present your ideas clearly in front of people is an essential skill, applicable to every stage in your life, from high school to university to work. Presenting your ideas can happen at any time of the day such as during a study session with your classmates, or in front of your class as part of an assessment. The way you present affects your academic results at university and job opportunities when you begin your career.
