5 sessions of 3 hours
“Before the course, I was a bit skeptic of the relevance that was going to play on my academic writing, but after these 5 weeks, I strongly recommend the course to anyone who is in research.” (Eugenio Gutierrez, Department of Clinical Medicine)
“The combination of personal feedback and basic knowledge on how to excell in academic writing has been a significant outcome for me. The fact that I have received concrete feedback on my scientific paper which I am writing at the moment has been very valuable.” (Jens Laurs Kærsgaard, Centre for Health Sciences Education)
“I now have the tools that I need when I am writing academic texts - I learned how to structure the text, how to enrich my language, and, most importantly, how to make my academic writing clear.“ (Anete Dudele, Department of Clinical Medicine)
