What This Programme Achieves
Exceptional research fails to achieve impact when it cannot be communicated effectively. U3 gives academics and researchers the structured tools to present their work compellingly — to grant panels, industry partners, university leadership, and the public. The result is research that converts into decisions, funding, and real-world application rather than remaining in journals alone.
Course Objectives
Structure complex research findings into clear, compelling narratives for diverse non-specialist audiences — from grant panels to industry partners.
Design high-impact research presentation decks using structured visual and narrative principles — not slide templates.
Deliver research pitches with authority and confidence, handling live questions from industry and funding panels effectively.
What Happens Each Day
Research Narrative Architecture & Audience Alignment
Learn to translate complex research into structured, audience-appropriate narratives. Apply the AIC pitch architecture framework to real research presentation scenarios across different audience types.
Research Deck Design & Visual Communication
Design research presentations that communicate value rather than volume. Apply visual hierarchy, data visualisation, and structured layout principles — with AI-assisted design tools — to produce compelling research decks.
Live Research Pitch & Expert Feedback
Deliver full research pitches in simulated grant panel and industry partner scenarios. Receive structured expert coaching on content, delivery, commercial framing, and question-handling.
Expected Outcomes
Research narratives restructured for clarity and impact — accessible and compelling across specialist and non-specialist audiences.
Presentation decks redesigned to communicate research value compellingly and professionally across all contexts.
Measurably improved pitch delivery capability for grant applications, industry engagements, and academic conferences.
