Professional Preparation Programme for MSc Engineering Students (2024-25)

Dear TPg students, 

The Faculty is collaborating with CEDARS to introduce the Professional Development Programme (PPP) for our taught postgraduate students.

There are 2 classes scheduled in Semester 1 of 2024-25 in late October:
 

1. Ways to make your CV, Cover Letter stand out (suggested duration 2 hours/ quota : 30+)
   Writing a CV or cover letter can be daunting when you start with a blank sheet. Let's change that by working through it together and help you ace internships, scholarships and competition opportunities.
   The module aims to equip students with the techniques of writing impressive CV and cover letter in order to increase their competitiveness in their job application process.
    
2. Smart ways to give your Presentations and Impromptu Talks (suggested duration 2.5 hours/ quota : 30)
   How do your tutors or supervisors evaluate your presentations? How to deliver a prepared or impromptu speech?
   The module will focus on the structure of an individual presentation and provide tips to successfully compose and deliver an impromptu talk to help students present with impact. Instant verbal feedback will be given to students on their performance during the practice session.

Registration for the classes will start around end of September or early October. The Faculty will send invitation with more details to you in September. Stay tuned for more information!
