Academic Writing Series
A yearly online course starting in November and ending in July.
As the standard of academic writing is most advanced at postgraduate research level, you should be able to:
- critically engage with material at expert level;
- produce complex, analytical arguments;
- make substantial contribution to knowledge through your research.
“…when I was writing my PhD – a real shot in the arm”
Here, your writing ability needs to access aspects of
- semantics
- grammatical versatility
- detail emphasis
