Giving the perfect oral presentation in English requires practice. Remember that even great orators like Steve Jobs, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King became excellent public speakers through years of dedicated practice.

When preparing your presentation in English, we recommend you watching and listening to the recordings of their public speeches as an example. Check out our video lesson and some other useful tips for giving a great presentation below.

University of Bristol is offering up to 20 vice-chancellor scholarships for undergraduate students with exceptional musical, dramatic or sporting talent. Scholarships are awarded to study any undergraduate course at the University (although, as the scheme is designed to attract students with exceptional abilities outside their normal field of study, a Music student would not be eligible for a music scholarship nor a Drama student for a drama scholarship). No more than 20 scholarships will be awarded for the 2015/16 academic year. For entry in 2015, scholarships in Music and Drama are valued at £3,000. Scholarships in Sport are valued at £1,500.

The application deadline is 15 January 2015.
