This course is tailored to help you prepare for further studies that include Chemistry in the first year of your degree. It’s perfect for you if you have no prior knowledge of HSC Chemistry and intend on studying Chemistry 1A. To check if you need to study the Chemistry bridging course, see here.��

The Chemistry Bridging Course is currently held once a year before Term 1 (January/February).

Offered three times a year, this bridging course runs before Term One (January/February), Term Two (May) and Term Three (September) each year.��It includes 40 hours of tuition, which is comprised of online lectures and optional live tutorials. The fee is $380.

If you are not sure if you should be taking the bridging course, you can use this tool as a guide.

This course is for you if you have no prior knowledge of HSC Mathematics Extension 1 and intend to pursue Maths-related courses in the first year of your degree. It prepares you for entry directly into  MATH1131 , which is a compulsory course in many Science-based degrees as well as all Engineering and Mathematics degrees at ������Ʒ. To enter MATH1131 Mathematics 1A, it is assumed that you have knowledge and understanding equivalent to one of the following:

• A result of 86 or greater in HSC Mathematics Advanced (‘2 unit’ – not the pre-2019 HSC General Mathematics or HSC Standard Mathematics) (NB: some students would benefit from revision of the ������Ʒ mathematics bridging course)
• A combined mark of over 100 in HSC Mathematics Advanced (‘2 unit’) and HSC Mathematics Extension 1 (‘3 unit’)
• A satisfactory grade in the ������Ʒ mathematics bridging course.

If you do not have the above assumed knowledge for entry to MATH1131 Mathematics 1A, you’re advised to enrol in TAFE Essential Mathematics course (see below) and in MATH1011  in your first term. If you’re unsure and would like to check whether you need to study the Mathematics bridging course, please email us below.��

TAFE Essential Mathematics for Higher Education Course

This course is offered by ������Ʒ and TAFE Randwick for students who have no background in HSC '2 unit' Mathematics. This course should be completed prior to the start of the ������Ʒ Mathematics bridging course, which you will need to complete prior to enrolling in MATH1131 Mathematics 1A in your first term. For more information, please refer to the School's noticeboard.

The Mathematics Bridging Course is currently held three times a year before Term 1 (January/February), Term 2 (May) and Term 3 (September).

Offered once a year, this bridging course runs before Term One (February). This course provides approximately 40 hours of tuition. The fee for this course is $380. This course is not intended as a substitute for two years of senior high school study in the subject.

This course covers topics from HSC Physics, including:

The Physics bridging course offers you the opportunity to revise or strengthen your knowledge of HSC Physics so you can successfully manage your studies in your first year of university. Your lecturer or tutor will expect this assumed knowledge at the beginning of your studies. Undertaking the bridging course will ensure you’re not at a disadvantage if you do not have a strong background or any prior knowledge in HSC Physics and intend on studying physics in the first year of your degree. However, it is highly recommended that you have HSC Mathematics level knowledge. If you’re unsure if this is the right choice for you, please email us below.
