Online courses

Our online courses involve longer commitments from our students but give you more freedom and time to process and improve your writing. The course duration is 8 weeks, with in-class instructor time every week.

The course content is similar to the workshop contents, with lectures,hands-on assignments, peer review of your work and comments from your instructor that will help you improve your scientific writing.

Online course
Campus course

Online courses can be accessed from anywhere, at any time. You decide when and where you attend classes and hand in your assignments when you have the time.

We correct your assignments promptly and, when all the assignments have been passed, we will award you a certificate as proof that you have completed the course.

If your department or faculty wants us to arrange a course on campus, please contact us for more information.

The advantage of a campus course is the structured learning, making sure that you finish the course in a timely manner, with the resources on-hand, so you can be sure not to miss out on any important information.
