The thesis groups of the Writing Lab are aimed at all students of the Faculty of Humanities who are working on their bachelor's or master's thesis. You can join for different reasons: for example, you may want to exchange experiences with fellow students, need help to stay motivated, or would like to work on your planning and goal setting.

The aim of a thesis group is to get to know and exchange experiences with fellow students who are also working on a thesis. In four sessions led by a Writing Lab coach, various topics are addressed, such as time management, dealing with your supervisor, motivation and goal setting. The specific content of the thesis group depends on the needs and input of the group. In the first session, you get to know the other participants and learn more about planning. In the remaining sessions, you work on shared goals and exchange experiences. Based on the needs of the participants, writing strategies are also discussed. Participants are expected to actively participate in all four sessions.

Besides the regular sessions, there is also the opportunity to stay in touch and work together. We strongly encourage participants to take the lead in the thesis group: the Writing Lab will organize four meetings, but ideally the participants stay involved outside these sessions as well. Exchanging experiences helps you to sort out your thoughts and achieve your goals. Writing your thesis becomes much more fun and efficient when you find support from each other!
