List of Thesis Correctors

The correctors on the list below have been selected after editing a trial paper and are only available for thesis corrections. Most are correctors of English, but the list also includes correctors of French, Italian, German and Dutch.

Please note that if you choose a corrector for your thesis who is not on this list, they will need to be approved by the EUI Centre for Academic Literacies and Languages (CALL). On the righthand side of this page you will find the procedure for approval

It is important that both the writer and the corrector have the same expectations of what the outcome of a correction will be. Read the EUI guidelines to what is expected of a corrector. 
 
In order to maintain a high standard of thesis editing for our PhD researchers, we ask you to provide feedback. Correctors who do not deliver edited theses in time or who have consistently negative assessments will be taken off the list of approved correctors. 
 
A thesis corrector can only be contracted for other editing jobs if there is a good justification for not using the Academic Text Revision and Editing Service. In such cases a SAR containing the justification (i.e. unavailability of the ‘official’ editors, special expertise …) should be submitted to the Director of the Academic Service.
