Goals |
The aim of the World of Research skill is to facilitate students in their academic writing (e.g., when writing a master thesis, funding proposal, or academic article).
Students will therefore 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. |
