City University of Macau (CityU) places great value on postgraduate education as it is a crucial means of cultivating high-end talent that plays a significant role in the national innovation system and contributes to the quality of higher education and international competitiveness. As part of its commitment to providing quality postgraduate education, the Graduate School of CityU organized the second workshop of the Postgraduate Academic Writing Workshop Series at the Cultural Centre, Taipa campus. The workshop was attended by over 200 faculty and students.

The objective of the workshop series is to improve the quality of academic writing and enhance publishing capabilities among postgraduate students. The second workshop in the series was delivered by Vice Rector Zhou Wanlei, with a focus on “Writing High-Quality Research Articles and Ph.D. Theses.” During the workshop, Vice Rector Zhou highlighted that thesis writing not only reflects how well postgraduate students understand fundamental theories, but also demonstrates their disciplinary skills and abilities acquired through their studies. Moreover, thesis writing should lead to new achievements or breakthroughs in a specific research scope or field.

During the workshop, Vice Rector Zhou analyzed four different types of research articles and discussed the five key elements of writing a high-quality paper. He also provided examples to illustrate the logical structure and academic framework of Ph.D. thesis writing. Vice Rector Zhou patiently answered students’ questions and inspired them to think in different angles in the Q & A session. The workshop offered practical and valuable advice to enhance their academic writing skills.
