Academic writing and rhetoric

At KTH Library, you can find supervisors who can help you develop your writing as well as address questions of rhetoric and presentation techniques. On this page, you can book an individual consultation, view upcoming workshops, and get an overview of the tools available to you – both students and staff – for improving your writing and other communication skills.

KTH Guide to scientific writing

The Guide is a kind of ‘toolbox’, a place where you can check conventions of language use in English, and improve your understanding of how to develop a text clearly.

About the workshops and lectures

During the semesters, we give workshops in various aspects of academic writing and communication. The workshops are intended for students at the Bachelor's or Master's level, or for researchers and doctoral students at KTH.

You are also welcome to send an e-mail to cas-handledning@kth.se  to request workshops in writing and presentations. Themes for workshops can be, for example, designing effective visuals, practising your presentation (e.g. a project presentation, report presentation or opposition talk) and learning to communicate in accordance with the norms and conventions of a specific subject area.

An important reason to understand how to use academic writing in practice is to avoid plagiarising – whether by mistake or on purpose.
