Workshops
Do you need basic information on academic writing or related topics? Are you looking for new strategies for learning and writing and would like to try them out in a group and receive feedback from other students?
Take advantage of the Writing Center's online workshops: our tutors will support you with academic writing - specifically for your current writing project or in preparation for your next writing assignment: you can find an overview of the current workshops and information on how to register under "For students" > "Workshops".
From winter semester 2024/25, the Writing Center will also be offering workshops, events and lectures on academic reading and writing in English specifically for international students as part of theSTUDYSMART network project. Enrollment takes place via the OPAL course STUDY SMART.
Every semester, the Writing Center of TU Dresden and the SLUB offer a joint series of events on the basics of academic reading and writing.
When and where:
- during the lecture period on Wednesdays, 4th double period (13:00 - 14:30), online
Participation in the series can be credited with 1 to 2 CP in the Aqua area or with 2 CP or 4 CP in the supplementary teaching area. All information on the individual workshops as well as registration for the various options for participation can be found in the OPAL course "Fundamentals of Academic Reading and Writing".
Of course, it is also possible to participate in individual workshops. Registration is possible in the OPAL course of the Writing Center in the respective semester program. A certificate of attendance can be issued on request.
If you have any questions, please get in touch at any time!
