Incoming University of Greenwich Students to Receive University Life Skills Training for a Successful Academic Journey

NextLevel includes online and timetable sessions covering library skills, study skills and digital skills which students can work through at any time, at their own pace before their studies start. The activities are designed to complement the support and advice they’ll get through their subject departments and personal tutors.

Classes continue to be offered in person once students arrive on campus.

Anuj Baral, President of the Greenwich Students Union said:

“NextLevel is an essential first step when studying at Greenwich. The course will help you transition to university by growing your confidence, developing independent learning skills and gaining key study skills to reduce academic stress.”

NextLevel enables students to become familiar with key skills such as submitting assignments using Turnitin and how to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a safe way in order to maintain academic integrity. The course will introduce students to their faculty and course requirements such as identifying personal tutors, timetables and understanding the university policies and processes that affect student.

Sharon Perera, Head of Academic and Digital Skills at the University of Greenwich said:

“Our students tell us that they feel proud at having secured a place at university, and at the same time that they feel nervous or anxious about what to expect. That’s why we developed NextLevel, a series of activities, resources and live workshops for our students to understand what to expect at university set them up for a smooth start to university life.

“NextLevel gives all our student the skills they need to maximise their potential.”
