We have launched the Writing Centre!

Are you struggling with writing academic texts? At the Writing Centre, University of Groningen students can receive free writing coaching. Our coaches will ask you questions and help you to look at your text or writing process from a different angle. The goal is for you to rediscover the joy of writing and to have a starting point for writing better academic texts. The Writing Centre is official part of the University of Groningen Language Centre.

▸For who? For all UG students.
▸Who are the coaches? Our writing coaches are UG students who have an affinity with academic writing and who have taken a coaching training course.
▸Where? Depending on your preference, the coaching can take place in the Harmonie Building or online.
▸What does it cost? The writing coaching sessions are free of charge.
▸How often? The maximum is five coaching sessions per writing assignment. You can only schedule one session at a time. If you are in need of a follow-up session, you can schedule it after the first one is finished.
▸In what language? You may submit texts in Dutch, English, Spanish or French, regardless of the language of the coaching session. All of our coaches are proficient in both Dutch and English. Some coaches are proficient in Spanish and French. With the latter two languages, pay attention to choosing the right coach when booking a session.
