Nothing! All Writing Lab activities are completely free of charge.

You can come by as often as you like, with a maximum of five sessions per semester. This will give you ample time to discuss different aspects of your text or your progress during the different stages of the writing process.

Absolutely, no problem at all! The writing tutors are also here to help you with those aspects of the writing process that happen before the actual writing, such as fine-tuning your research question, planning your work or making an outline.

Definitely! The Writing Lab is available to all students of the Faculty of Humanities, both bachelor and master students.

You definitely can! You can even opt for a coaching session in English, if you prefer.

It is unfortunately not possible to schedule an appointment on the same day. Usually, you will be able to see a tutor within a week, but this can take longer depending on the availability of the tutors.

No, for questions about language we would like to refer you to one of the courses at the Academic Language Center. However, we can help you with questions about academic style and sentence structure.

No, grading your text is reserved for your instructor. Our tutors cannot and will not comment on the quality of your assignment.

No, since PhD students are employees of the university, we are unfortunately unable to offer them our services.

No. Our tutors are in no way involved in grading your assignment and will never tell your instructor about your appointments. It is very important that you feel safe with us, meaning that everything you discuss with your tutor will remain between the two of you.
