Depending on the University you choose to do the PhD, there will be a range of support mechanisms on offer in improving academic writing. Even though, one might need a little more support or commitment to improve academic writing skills when English is not their first language in general, all those who start a PhD will need some sort of coaching and support in academic writing. Academic Writing is a different art, that needs to be mastered by practising it. All the PhD students will be engaging in a range of activities such as writing their draft chapters, writing abstracts and papers for conferences, writing reports on their research, writing reports for yearly reviews of progress and so on, and engaging in extensive reading of academic texts. These activities also will offer a prime learning opportunity of academic writing.
