Academic Presentations at UK Universities: Slide Design and Delivery

How to design academic slides that don't read like corporate decks - and how to deliver them in a UK seminar context.

UK academic presentations are not pitch decks. Bullet-heavy slides bore tutors and lose marks. Image-led slides with sparse text - explained verbally - score higher every time.

The 6×6 rule (relaxed)

No more than six lines per slide, six words per line - and ideally fewer. Your verbal explanation is the content. The slides are a scaffold.
