The aim of this thesis is to investigate and identify the present status of abstractwriting in English for bachelor’s and master’s theses at the UAS Wildau, and tomake recommendations for students who are required to produce abstracts inEnglish.In the first part, results of a short empirical survey of the university faculties anddegree programs are presented. These show that there is growing demand forstudent abstracts in English, but at present students receive very little guidance inthis matter.The thesis then identifies the uses of an English abstract, and further outlines thestructure of an abstract. In a detailed central section the thesis provides studentswith useful practical tips on the language of abstracts, including rules for creatingheadings and titles, and giving lists of phrases and vocabulary that are commonlyused in abstracts. Here, the thesis draws on a number of sources from otheruniversities and books on academic writing in English.In conclusion, the thesis argues that abstract writing in English is essential but thatstudents should not be expected to be able to write good abstracts withoutassistance. This thesis hopes to offer all UAS Wildau students useful tips onwriting abstracts in English, and thus make a small contribution to improving thegeneral standard of bachelor’s and master’s theses.
