Help is on hand if you need support with either academic writing, your writing technique or finishing your written assignment. If you have Swedish as a second language, you can get help to develop your Swedish pronunciation.

Improve your writing skills

We're here to guide you in your work with different writing tasks and can answer questions about texts and language. While we do not proofread and point out grammar and spelling errors, we can help you find strategies to develop your writing skills to help you with your studies.

At Talverkstaden, we practice Swedish pronunciation together. We go through different aspects of pronunciation to help you understand and develop your Swedish speaking skills.

The meetings consist of short briefings followed by practical training in groups or individually, and are held in Swedish.

Take-home exams are a common method of examination used at the University. You work on your exam text individually, often over a slightly longer period of time. Usually, these exams contain several questions requiring longer answers, where you demonstrate that you have absorbed the course literature and can apply your knowledge.
