Corporate presentation
The University of Twente’s corporate presentation is a solid starting point for any talk you’re giving to an external group. You can either use the full basic version or pick and choose from extra slides – think organisational structure, student teams, our campus, alumni facts and more.

Tips for a good presentation - Choose a clear storyline with a clearly defined beginning, middle and end.
- Tailor your presentation to the target group (not one-size-fits-all), also consider tone-of-voice, style, etc.
- Use related images that are suitable for the target group (images are more appealing than text).
- Use practical examples that the target group can relate to.
- Practice delivering your presentation in advance and ask for feedback.
- Ensure ‘it’ is polished: your presentation (house style/template) and yourself.
- Engage with your audience within the first minute.
- Ensure variation: tell and ask, play with emotions and speed, go a little faster and a little slower at times.
- Organise breaks during long presentations.
The Communications Department is happy to provide input in respect of developing the message and identifying the information needs of the target groups. Contact the communications advisor for your unit for support.
