Academic Writing for Postdocs New
Could you use some support to build your skills and confidence in academic writing?
Whether you would like to improve your writing style or could use some additional support because English isn’t your primary language, this exciting new course will be a valuable experience.
This series of workshops provides tips and strategies for refining your writing submissions for publication.
We will explore:
- key concepts in academic writing
- questions of structure, word choice and style
- learning to identify weaker areas and developing expertise in improving them.
Together, we will analyse and edit extracts from published papers with a particular focus on clarity, precision and logical flow. Participants are also expected to bring their own work for critical analysis and peer review.
All sessions will be guided by an expert facilitator from the Department of Engineering’s Centre for Languages and Inter-Communication (CLIC).
