In the three basic modules Language and Culture, Literature and Culture and Acquisition and Mediation, you will already be writing small seminar papers in some seminars. Use this opportunity to familiarise yourself with academic writing. We all had our initial difficulties with this, but some of us conjured up beautiful texts on paper over time.

To get you started, you will find in the Guide to writing academic papers a compact introduction to the process, citation methods and formal requirements of academic writing in German studies by Dr Wallrath-Janssen.

We would like to thank her for this wonderful guide and hope that it will help you find your way around academic writing.
