How to write Post Graduation (Level 7) assignments

If you're an international student, there’s a good chance you're unfamiliar with how academic assignments are done in the UK system. Writing at Level 7 involves much more than just answering a question — it requires in-depth research, critical analysis, clear structure, paraphrasing, and strict referencing formats.

When I first started my course, I had no idea how to approach these kinds of tasks either. Over time, I figured out how to research effectively, find credible sources, format references the right way, and structure my writing to meet the academic expectations here. I completed all my assignments and dissertation independently, and I can now share what helped me get there.

In this session, I’ll walk you through how to:

• Understand and break down your assignment questions
• Structure your work clearly and logically
• Find reliable academic sources that actually support your arguments
• Paraphrase and reference properly (without plagiarism)
• Use simple tools that can make research, referencing and writing easier
• Write critically and reflectively — which is key at postgraduate level

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure about where to start, I’ll help you make sense of it all. It’s not as scary as it looks once you understand the system.
