The course is aimed at advanced students who have already begun working on their Diplomarbeit (MA-thesis) or will do so this semester. It complements regular EAP courses by offering essential input and practice on a single day, making it an ideal means of refreshing your thesis-writing skills. For a more open and regular forum in which to discuss specific problems with writing your thesis, see the weekly workshop „Writing your Diploma Thesis“.
The course covers the essentials of thesis-writing in the following areas: text structure, academic style, discussing and quoting sources, presenting your own research (methods, data and findings), finding your own voice and arguing your point. Questions related to research design, such as research questions, methods and aims, will not be discussed and should be addressed to your supervisor.
