Undergraduate and graduate students with an intermediate to advanced level of English (B1+-C1) who need to produce written assignments or other forms of academic work (such as dissertations and theses) in English.

There are no specific entry requirements other than the student’s level of English. The module is intended for students with a proficiency level of at least low B2 (intermediate/upper-intermediate).

You will be asked to come to the EMA before the beginning of the semester to take a Placement Test.

The module will enable students to:

• familiarise themselves with the structure of abstracts across disciplines;
• recognise the typical components of an abstract;
• practise writing an abstract of their own.

The module is divided into two sessions:

1. Abstracts: purpose and structure
2. Abstracts: writing practice and peer-review

To receive a certificate for the module, students are expected to:

• attend both sessions;
• do the required coursework;
• submit one written assignment.

Module materials will be distributed in class and made available on the Moodle module page.
