      Learning to write academic texts and developing an academic writing identity can be challenging for students transitioning to university because they are not yet familiar with the norms and conventions of the academic and specific disciplinary discourse community. This article qualitatively examines how first-year university students define themselves as writers of academic texts, and how they perceive themselves as mastering the writing skills required in an academic context. For our study, we interviewed 11 first-year students who, before the interview, had participated in the first course as part of their mandatory language and communication studies. We analysed the interview data applying the three aspects of the writer identity model proposed by Clark and Ivanič (1997): the authorial, autobiographical, and discoursal self. We discuss how the challenges in writing experienced by students could be considered in the pedagogical development of these courses and how the transition from upper secondary schools to university could be better supported to prevent uncertainty and confusion associated with writing at the beginning of university studies and support the development of students’ writing identity. ; Yliopistoon siirtyvien opiskelijoiden voi olla haastavaa oppia kirjoittamaan akateemisia tekstejä ja kehittää akateemista kirjoittajaidentiteettiään, koska he eivät vielä tunne akateemisen ja tieteenalakohtaisen diskurssiyhteisön normeja ja konventioita. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan, miten ensimmäisen vuoden yliopisto-opiskelijat määrittelevät itseään akateemisten tekstien kirjoittajina ja miten he kokevat hallitsevansa akateemisessa kontekstissa vaadittavat kirjoitustaidot. Laadullista tutkimustamme varten haastattelimme 11 ensimmäisen vuoden opiskelijaa, jotka olivat ennen haastattelua osallistuneet pakollisten kieli- ja viestintäopintojensa ensimmäiselle kurssille. Analysoimme haastatteluaineistoa soveltaen Clarkin ja Ivaničin (1997) luoman kirjoittajaidentiteettimallin kolmea näkökulmaa: ...
