Our support starts before you even walk through our door. Find out what studying at university is really like with the NextLevel course.

Are you ready for the NextLevel?

Our 2023 NextLevel course will help you take control of your learning and develop the skills you need to succeed. You can choose to complete the course online or join us for our weekly, timetabled sessions which start on 5 October.

As soon as you complete online registration you'll get access to our NextLevel course. If you have completed online registration, you will find NextLevel in your Moodle Dashboard. Find out more about how to complete your university registration here.

NextLevel includes online content covering library skills, study skills and digital skills which you can work through at any time, at your own pace. The activities are designed to complement the support and advice you'll get through your subject departments and personal tutors.

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

Find NextLevel on your Moodle dashboard and start earning badges now by completing the activities and watching the videos. From 5 October, join our weekly timetabled sessions to meet your tutors and fellow students. NextLevel includes online content covering library skills, study skills and digital skills which you can work through at any time, at your own pace.

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

Your first sessions will signpost you to key university support services including finance, disability and dyslexia and academic skills which include academic writing, paraphrasing, maths and statistical help, referencing and digital skills.

We’ve made it really easy for you to participate in the NextLevel course. You can find it in your Moodle Dashboard and your sessions have been timetabled. There are options to attend either on a Thursday lunchtime or in the evening. You only need to attend one session each week. If you miss a session for any reason, you’ll be able to attend it in term 2

Students who have completed our previous courses report an improvement in their confidence and achievements. So, enrol on NextLevel in September to start developing the skills you need for your success.
