Workshops

Every semester, the Writing Lab organises interactive, hands-on (and free!) workshops to help you improve your academic writing skills.

Do you don't know exactly what is expected of you when it comes to writing assignments? Do you want to sharpen your academic writing style or structure your text more clearly? Or maybe you're working on your thesis and you're looking for tactics to keep yourself disciplined in your writing? Then our workshops are for you! Take a look below for the full range of workshops and sign up!

Workshops

Whether you come from high school or college, academic writing at university can be a big switch and challenge. What exactly is an academic text? How do you come up with a good research question? How do you give your paper a clear structure and use an academic writing style?

Your teachers keep insisting on it: your text must have a clear structure! This makes sense, because a clear structure makes a text more pleasant to read and easier to understand. In this workshop you will learn how to structure your text in a crystal clear way at both chapter and paragraph level, for example by using core sentences and signal words. In this way you will lift your academic writing skills to a higher level.

Academic writing assignments must be written in an academic style. But what does that actually mean? What exactly makes a writing style academic or non-academic? In this workshop you learn to evaluate your own writing style and to make it more academic where necessary by looking at texts in detail. This way you lift your writing style to a higher level in no time.
