Thesis week

You are either just starting your thesis or you have been working on your (Bachelor’s or Master’s degree) thesis study for a while. It does not matter what academic programme you are in.

For one week, you will be working on your thesis under our supervision from 8.30 a.m. until 5 p.m. This will help you establish a working schedule, put a real dent in your workload and introduce you to lots of students who, like you, are writing their theses.

We can not offer knowledge specific to your field of study, but we will share our expertise in workshops/webinars on:

• Stress-free writing: how to plan
• Dealing with your supervisor
• Your writing process
• Structuring your text

Skills Lab writing coaches will be present to help you with the structure of your text, your planning, your study design and any other thesis-related questions you might have.

You will start each day with breakfast in the Skills Lab Writing Centre. After that, there will be a short, start-up session. In the afternoons, we organise different (optional) workshops and webinars. Between these group activities, you will work on your own thesis or talk to a coach about your writing (process). Tea and coffee will be available all day long. At the end of the day on Friday, we will close out the week with drinks.

The next Thesis Week is not yet scheduled.

The Thesis Week takes place on location, as being in stimulating surroundings combined with being among peers contributes to its success.
