1. Students improve their academic writing skills.
2. Students get deeper insight into the research frontier in different disciplines.

For the first goal, students will participate in a course organized by the Language Centre (June – skills period). In this course, students will write their own text, review literature, improve texts, practice advanced grammar and learn to identify typical features in published articles.
For the second goal, students are required to participate in several research seminars of their choice. A wide range of seminars is offered.
