Writing your thesis can sometimes be a lonely process, but it doesn't have to be! Starting from 9 February, the Library offers thesis sessions every Monday from 11:00 to 18:00 where you can come with all your questions. Our student-hosts will be happy to help you collect sources, formulate your research question and structure your work.

You can participate online from home via Teams, or be physically present in the Focus Room in the Roeterseiland campus (REC H) or in LAB42 on Science Park. Working together with others who are also writing their thesis will give you focus and new insights.

Thematic guidance

Each session has a theme that matches the phase of your thesis. In the beginning of the semester, for example, the focus is on planning, while towards the end you get support in editing your text.

Weekly writing workshops

From 30 March, a Scientific Writing tutor will also give weekly writing workshops, and information specialists from the Library will regularly join in to help you further.

Also AD(H)D-friendly study sessions

Besides the thesis sessions, the regular AD(H)D-friendly study sessions continue: every Tuesday to Thursday from 13:00 to 18:00 in room H0.04 on Roeterseiland and online via Teams. By studying in a guided group, you not only increase your knowledge and skills, but also your self-confidence.
