Where and how do I begin? How can I give myself the best chance of writing a good degree project report and cope with the challenges of such a project? These are some of the questions we will answer in the first workshop. We’ll work on background reading, managing references, establishing a research aim, and planning your writing. 

The writing focus for this workshop is sections and subsections. You will learn to: 

  • Get familiar with guidelines and grading criteria  

  • Find a knowledge gap and decide on a research aim and/or question(s)  

  • Find relevant academic literature  

  • Collect and manage references with reference management software  

  • Plan a structure 

This workshop is held both in English and in Swedish. 

Please note that this workshop is offered at two separate dates, choose between Monday 27 January  or Wednesday 29 January.

About the workshops

Writing a degree project report can be a challenging experience. To support you in the different phases of producing the report, Centre for Academic Writing and Rhetoric and KTH Library will offer a series of three workshops during the spring semester 2025. You may sign up for one, two, or all three workshops. The workshops will include short presentations on relevant themes, with time dedicated to allowing you to relate these themes to your own degree project report. There will be opportunities for individual support.
