Writing Center

The Writing Center is a service offered by the English department to support students and staff in writing texts in English. A writing tutor offers individual help as well as open tutorials each semester.

The Writing Center offers support with all English-language texts, such as:
  • Writing assignments in seminars
  • Portfolio work
  • Book reviews
  • Reflection papers
  • Homework
  • Application letters
  • CVs

You can ask for help at any stage of your work, from brainstorming to the finishing touches on your completed text. Please note that the Writing Center does not offer proofreading, but aims to provide feedback to help students reflect on and improve their writing skills.
