Writing skills

Academic writing can be challenging - especially when your first seminar paper or thesis is due. On this page you will find our support services. Our aim is to strengthen your writing skills in the long term and provide you with the tools you need to write convincing texts independently.

Are you writing a term paper, thesis, essay or report and are currently stuck? Do you have a question about citing or your research question? Then simply come to our open consultation hours spontaneously and without an appointment.
Always on Tuesdays 1.00 - 2.00 pm in A0-261.

In an individually arranged consultation, you can discuss various questions with us, such as

  • How do I find a topic for my writing project?
  • Do I need a question and what does it look like?
  • What do I do if I have writer's block?
  • How do I manage to organise my studies?

If necessary, we will also give you 2-4 pages of feedback on your text, e.g. with regard to your central theme. Important: We do NOT offer spelling correction or read complete papers - the responsibility for the text remains with you the whole time. We also advise group projects - from finding a topic to the finished product.

Make an appointment with us using our form:

You can find our workshops on reading, writing and AI as well as time management and exam preparation in the electronic course catalogue (ekvv).

We offer a writing week during the lecture-free period. The next date is 2-6 March 2026; we will publish the programme here about two weeks in advance.

Do you have to write a term paper or thesis and don't really know what an exciting topic might be? At this Walk & Talk, you can think about a topic together, get feedback and sound out which scientific question could develop from it.

Let yourself be guided through your thought process at five stations with question impulses!

In the writing portal you will find an overview of the various degree programmes with information on writing during your studies.
