Writing advice

Research & write

Academic writing and research are integral parts of studying and form the basis for every academic paper. The Writing Advisory Service at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences offers helpful services and a variety of formats aimed at teaching, promoting and actively supporting writing as a fundamental skill of academic work in order to develop your own writing skills.

We can help with the following questions, among others:

  • How do I improve my writing skills?
  • How do I structure a text sensibly?
  • How do I find relevant sources and literature for my topic?
  • How do I quote correctly and avoid plagiarism?

Individual consultations are open to all students at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences.
While writing academic texts, there are always situations in which a discussion about the text or about writing itself can help you to organize your thoughts, recognize problems and get back to work.
You can take advantage of individual writing advice at any stage of your writing process - even if you have not yet put a text on paper.

The writing consultation is individual and is tailored to the respective needs of the person seeking advice. As a rule, you present your concerns and we then work out solutions together. - We provide help for self-help.
A writing consultation lasts approximately 45 minutes. If necessary, subsequent appointments can be arranged or the consultation time extended.

  • Evaluating and reviewing work or giving legal advice
  • read complete papers or proofread and edit texts
  • replace the supervisor's advice on technical or content-related aspects of the work
