  • Present and compare theories
  • Describe methods and data
  • Present and discuss results

  • Create coherent and cohesive texts (text structure from the sentence level up to complete papers)

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Course content

As English has become the global language of scientific communication, publication, and exchange in the technical sciences and economics, there is an increasing demand for competent writing in English within university courses. It is, therefore, especially important to acquire and practice English writing skills. This course teaches the basics of scientific writing in English – understanding texts and how to use them in your own writing, the writing process itself, arguments in scientific writing, text organisation and structure, and the language itself – which will then also be put into practice.

Prior knowledge expected

Very good knowledge of English. 

Literature

Will be announced  or provided in class.
