Summer-writing Marathon
Are you currently writing your master’s thesis and want to finish it soon?
We provide a space, motivation, daily structure, and productive exchange throughout the summer. During the writing marathon, you will spend a week writing your own Master's thesis in a group with other students.
Two writing assistants will set up a structured daily routine and slots for writing consultations. The writers benefit from a group that writes together for an entire week. So, it is also necessary to participate on all days of the week. Registration is required, availability is limited. It is also possible to book several weeks.
You cannot be present on site or you can only participate a few days per week?
Registration
until June 10: registration for students of expiring Master's programmes
June 11 to June 25: students from all study programs can apply for the remaining seats
⇒ go to registration
Participants in the writing marathon will get:
- a room for fully focused work;
- a clear weekly structure and schedule
- individual consultations on academic writing and research;
- feedback on drafts
- workshops in small groups
- exchange about research methods;
- and most of all, fun and motivation!
