Aim and content
This is a generic course. This means that the course is reserved for PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. Anyone can apply for the course, but if you are not a PhD student at the Graduate School, you will be placed on the waiting list until enrollment deadline. After the enrolment deadline, available seats will be allocated to the waiting list.

The course is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School). Special rules apply for research year students enrolled at Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at UCPH. All other participants must pay the course fee.

Learning objectives
• To equip participants with further skills to produce effective research writing
• To enlighten participants about how to increase the readability of their writing
• To clarify how and why the language of research writing is evolving
• To extend participants’ academic vocabulary


Content
This course builds on English for Researchers: Writing Level 1 where you will have got a good idea about what is needed to write successfully. Level 2 elaborates the points from Level 1 and focuses on how to make your writing more arresting, fluent and readable. Tricky grammatical points and punctuation will be taken up along with extensive vocabulary-building exercises. Letter and email writing will also be covered. Participants will have the opportunity to work with their own manuscripts and receiving individual feedback.


Participants
PhD students currently working on a paper or who have some experience of writing papers. English for Researchers: Writing level 1 is preferable before this course but not mandatory.
NB to gain the most from the two courses, leave a few months between Level 1 and Level 2.

Language
English

Form
Face-to-face classroom tuition using relevant material and examples with follow-up practices and self-guided research writing. Participants will receive individual feedback on their writing.
