An oral presentation (10-15 minutes) must draw attention to a topic related to cultural, religious or psychological issues in the student''s home country or a chosen region. The objective of the presentation is to ensure individual reflection on the students'' background and comparative aspects of conflicts, violence and culture. The requirement of the oral presentation is furthermore to engage students at an early stage of the programme with developing and presenting their ideas, which is an ongoing part of the programme, as well as encouraging students to begin developing ideas about their master''s thesis project.
