What makes academic writing unique?

Writing at university has a distinctive style which includes the following characteristics.

• Formal
• Objective
• Concise
• Tentative

Academic writing should be formal in tone, structure and style.

Avoid using:

• colloquial language
• slang
• jargon
• idioms
• contractions—for example, don’t
• rhetorical questions.

Use discipline-specific language, or course language, to demonstrate your understanding of the content area and to support your argument.
