UWrite – Supporting Your Academic Success
UWrite is a free academic writing support service that is available to all HBKU students. The center’s primary objective is to empower students to become better – more confident, independent, and successful – academic writers in the long term.
UWrite specialists work with students to improve and develop their writing skills so that they can produce clear, well-organized, and effective assignments. Instead of simply proofreading students’ work before submission, our writing specialists provide helpful feedback on different aspects of their work in order to ensure their ongoing development as writers.
UWrite Services
Individual (one-to-one) consultations
HBKU students can schedule individual tutoring sessions (consultations) with an English or Arabic writing specialist. In these sessions, they can discuss and receive guidance on different types of writing assignments (academic genres), grammar, vocabulary, style, referencing, and other aspects of academic writing.
Workshops/ In-class support sessions
The University Writing Center specialists develop and conduct workshops throughout the academic year. These workshops, which may be offered university-wide or organized in collaboration with individual HBKU colleges and/or programs, focus on various aspects of academic writing including genre analysis, style, structure, and academic integrity. Details of college-specific workshops or in-class sessions will be provided by individual colleges/course leaders.
Digital resources
A comprehensive collection of online self-help resources is available and regularly updated on the University Writing Center English and Arabic LibGuide pages.
