Writing is a process that can be learned and continually improved. Our mission therefore is to develop new teaching methods and tailored support for academic writing. We also organise events and workshops on specific writing issues and offer individualised writing guidance.

Writing as a part of teaching
Academic writing is complex and can be developed and continually improved. Coursework, however, often leaves little time to explore, practise and provide feedback on the writing process.
The HSG Writing Lab caters to these needs by providing a range of tailored support: specially designed teaching materials, workshops on specific writing issues and writing coaching for students. Feel free to contact us by email.
