PhD writing days - 4 & 5 November

The Writing Centre organizes PhD writing days to provide support for PhD students at all stages of the thesis writing process, i.e. for PhD students who have started writing their first paper as well as for PhD students who are wrapping up their thesis. The PhD writing days are designed to help you and your peers to work on your thesis in a structured and supportive environment. Our coaches are on hand to help you with any issues you have with your writing.

The aim of the PhD writing days is to create a productive atmosphere to write in. Don’t know what to write? In that case, it might be better to first book an appointment with one of our writing coaches for a coaching session.

The PhD writing days are organized throughout the academic year. Please note the following dates in your calendar:
