  Preparing for university: an online course for students If your   students are feeling   worried about   starting university, they’re not alone. We know things haven’t been normal this year, and that lack of normality is adding to the already long list of   questions that pop up before starting university. University of East Anglia’s  Preparing for University MOOC   is designed to ease any uncertainties by equipping your students with the skills for university learning before they get there. It's relevant for anyone moving from Level 3 study to university. What does the course involve? This free online course can be started at any time and learners study at their own pace. At the end of each week, they’ll receive a summary of key skills which they can refer back to when they start university. They’ll also get the chance to interact with other people on the course via discussion boards.
