Teaching
Laura teaches academic and professional communication to MSc students across the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences (FEPS), working in partnership with subject programmes to integrate communication development within disciplinary learning. Through close alignment with core modules, she supports students in making the academic and cultural transition to UK higher education while developing the communication skills required for success in engineering and related STEM disciplines.
Laura also delivers Presenting Your Project workshops for undergraduate and postgraduate students. These sessions provide opportunities to practise poster presentations, engage in structured peer review, and receive formative feedback to enhance confidence and performance ahead of assessment.
In addition, Laura teaches on the Intercultural Communication option within Medical Humanities. This option encourages undergraduate medical students to explore how culture shapes communication, identity and professional practice in healthcare contexts. Students examine the assumptions, values and communicative preferences they bring to interactions with patients and colleagues, developing greater intercultural awareness and culturally responsive approaches to medical practice in contemporary healthcare settings.
