Academic skills support
The UTLC provides support while you develop your professional presentation and writing skills throughout your PhD research at the University of Twente.
You can receive individual support while working on, for example:
- a journal article
- your PhD thesis
- a conference presentation
- a scientific poster/paper
- a cover or rebuttal letter
- your CV
We provide help in two ways:
For presentations, we provide feedback on presentation skills, PowerPoint slide design and scientific poster design.
The individual support you receive will focus on further development of your professional presentation and/or writing skills, and your coach will have a strong scientific research background.
We will connect you with a qualified, and native speaking researcher or skills trainer to support you.
For written texts, we provide feedback on issues such as clarity and cohesion, academic tone, as well as English language issues.
The individual support you receive will focus on further development of your professional presentation and/or writing skills, and your coach will have a strong scientific research background.
