Title Write a Successful MSc Thesis
Description Do you want to be able to write clear and correct scientific English without lengthy and repeated redrafting? This course explains the fundamental principles of producing sentences, paragraphs, and longer sections of text that readers in your discipline will understand and appreciate.
Each participant finds three or four texts from within their own field before the first session. Each week, participants use these texts to understand fundamental principles and then model their own writing in assignments that they can reuse in theses, articles and other texts. Participants learn to evaluate their own and others’ texts and AI inputs and thus develop a writing skillset that is focused on the demands of their discipline yet transferrable to a range of academic readerships and text types.

Out-of-class workload across the course is designed to bring total course workload to ca. 30 hours.
