Academic writing requires a broad set of basic skills from creating a solid concept to formulating an argument and also subject specific know-how. This is why the Schreibzentrum | Writing Center at the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg offers students a wide range of specialized trainings in academic writing, including Writing Center based workshops, in class workshops and tutorials.

Here you will also find specialized offers for the imparting of subject-specific writing competencies from experts across the disciplines.

Our Offers

Specialized workshops are offered on a regular basis at the Schreibzentrum | Writing Center to support students in developing the skills to overcome the challenges most frequently encountered in academic writing. 

These workshops are part of the module "Developing and Improving Writing Skills" (ASQ-Pool). Students will receive 3 credits for participating in in at least 3 workshops and handing in a collective portfolio (approximately 10 pages in length).

Students will also receive 3 credits for participating in the monthly workshop "My Writing Project."

Under the guidance of qualified writing instructors, students not only gain insight into different text formats and approaches to writing, but also have the opportunity to discuss issues they face in their own writing processes.

  • The Writing Process: Planning and Organizing Academic Writing
  • My First Term Paper
  • Establishing the Guiding Thread in Academic Papers
  • Finding a Topic and Developing a Research Question
  • Academic Style, Citation, Paraphrasing
  • Orthography and Punctuation
  • Position Papers and Handouts
  • Reading Strategies and Annotation

In our monthly writing workshop "Mein Schreibprojekt", students receive support for the planning, implementation and completion of individual writing projects, such as bachelor's, master's and admissions, as well as dissertations, at four deadlines (at a weekly interval).

In small groups under the guidance of certified writing trainers, meetings are held on the following topics:

  • Finding ways to write
  • Strategies and techniques of academicc writing
  • Advice on individual writing projects
  • Formation of peer-writing groups with supervision by the instructor

"My Writing Project" informs, motivates and supports. Most important is that the monthly writing workshop at the Writing Center helps you reach your goal: a well-rounded and solid thesis.
