FDS3102 Writing Scientific Articles, 5 ECTS

Apply now for FDS3102 Writing Scientific Articles, autumn 2024

Course information

Next course start: September 2024. The application form is now open.

The course focuses on clear, correct and reader-friendly writing. The sessions include analysis of typical research articles from the participants’ own fields and peer reviews of drafts.

Students need to have reached a point at which they have results and are able to work on a research paper during the course. The course is therefore not suitable for first-year doctoral students. The course examination consists of short assignments and a final individual tutorial with the teacher, in which the full article and the writing process is discussed. The tutorial can take place any time after the final seminar (no deadline), and credits are awarded when this has been completed.

Please apply using the forms further down on this page. Make sure the course is in your eISP. We will then handle the admission and registration procedure.
