Writing Consultation for International Students

Are you looking for individual help? You would like to talk about your writing process? Or are you looking for constructive feedback?

Everything regarding your writing process can be a topic during writing consultation. No matter where in the writing process you are – from the first vague idea to the nearly finished text – you can always come to the Writing Center. You do not even need to have any written text and with whatever academic text you are writing, we will try to help you.

You can sign up for a appointment for international students in German or English in the OPAL course.
The regular Writing Consultations for German students are of course still offered.
