How to Improve Academic Writing Skills (UK University Students)
Academic writing is a skill, not a talent. These are the routines our highest-scoring UK students follow week after week.
Weekly routines
Read one journal paper per module, summarise it in 200 words, and add three new citations to your Zotero library.
Drafting habits
Outline before you draft, draft in one sitting, edit on a different day.
Feedback loops
Use your university's writing centre, free feedback from us, and any tutor office hours you can attend.
