Academic Writing

As the world becomes ever more interconnected, the importance of English as a primary global language is an inescapable fact. This is as true in academia as in any other field. To fully participate in the academic world requires a level of proficiency not only in general English but in the formal and regulated context of Academic English. This course aims to provide the tools to develop these necessary skills.
