Seminar
A seminar is a group discussion where you'll take part and share your views. They are often led by postgraduates who have already completed their first degree and specialise in a similar topic. Your seminar leader will help you to explore and understand the material together.
Lecture
A lecture is usually one person talking to a large group of students. Lecturers are usually research specialists in the topic they're talking about. They will inspire you with new ideas and insights on your topic.
