    An academic essay aims to develop an idea or argument using evidence from research. There are many types of essays students write depending on their level and subject of study, but most university essays are argumentative and aim to persuade the reader of a position on a topic. The essay writing process consists of three main stages - preparation by deciding on a topic, researching, and outlining; writing to set out the argument in the introduction, provide evidence in the body, and wrap up in the conclusion; and revision to check content, organization, grammar, spelling, and formatting.

    Essay | Steps & Examples


    An academic essay is a focused piece of writing that develops an idea or argument using
    evidence, analysis, and interpretation.

    There are many types of essays you might write as a student. The content and length of an
    essay depends on your level, subject of study, and course requirements. However, most essays at
    university level are argumentative—they aim to persuade the reader of a particular position or
    perspective on a topic.

    The essay writing process consists of three main stages:

    1. Preparation: Decide on your topic, do your research, and create an essay outline.
    2. Writing: Set out your argument in the introduction, develop it with evidence in the main
    body, and wrap it up with a conclusion.
    3. Revision: Check your essay on the content, organization, grammar, spelling, and
    formatting of your essay.

    In this guide, we walk you through what to include in the introduction, body, and conclusion of
    an academic essay, using paragraphs from our interactive essay example.
