More information:
The aim of this course is to support PhD students in their written English skills. Students will receive feedback on a preliminary writing task to detect individual writing needs. By the end of the course, students should be able to successfully edit their writing and gain the confidence to write academic texts in their field. Students will submit a final paper with a maximum of 8 pages. This paper will be proofread and receive detailed feedback from the course instructor.
