The course aims to broaden the scientific horizon of postgraduate students in the fields of physics via active participation on research and scientific seminars. This course is a scientific forum for postgraduate students to exchange research information and to discuss scientific problems.

The course is designed to develop the communication skills at presentation of research and scientific work. It provides the basic principles for: (i) logically organized presentation of research work, including preparation of abstract and/or introduction for the presentation; and (ii) development of efficient presentation techniques and scientific discussions. It contributes to the systematic development of self-confidence and the rational and logical presentation of research results, as well as the defense of the conclusions drawn.

The course focuses on the effective communication of research objectives, methodology, and results in scientific presentations. It emphasizes the effective preparation of abstracts and/or introductions for scientific presentations, research design, data analysis, conclusion, and defense of the presentation. Attention is also given to the ethical principles of research reporting and interaction, such as the proper citation of work by others.

Individual tasks are assessed continuously during individual seminars. The students are required to attend all lectures in this course, as well as a minimum of 26 seminars (including postgraduate seminars, departmental seminars, or seminars prescribed by their supervisors).
