The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences arranges a two-day course in Academic Writing 24th and 27th of April from 10-14 (at "Seminarrom 201, Harriet Holters hus"). The course is primarily for Master's Degree students who have their bachelor degrees from outside of Norway. No credits will be awarded for the course, but you will hopefully be better prepared to write your thesis.
Norwegian Master's Degree students are also welcome to apply, as well as PhD students that do not have a norwegian Master's Degree.
The course will include tips on how to write a good thesis, how to write good academic english and some tips about how to use and refer to other work.
Please apply by sending an email to oyvinsa@matnat.uio.no where you write that you want to participate in the course, your name, the neme of your Master's Programme (or subject for PhD-students), and where you have your earlier education from. The application deadline is 17th of
April, and after that I will contact everyone that has applied with information on whether they have been accepted or not (there are only room for about 30 students).
The book "Alley, Michael (1996). The Craft of Scientific Writing (3rd ed.). New York: Springer." will be used in the course if you want to purchase this before the lectures. (It should be available at "Akademika".
Except for the book, the course is for free.
