Suitable for: students intending to study an engineering course, or major in mathematics, computer science or physics. This Extension 1 bridging course is for you if you have completed the equivalent of HSC Mathematics Advanced (2-unit) and want to enrol in a course which has an assumed knowledge of Extension 1 Mathematics (3-unit). Check the assumed knowledge requirements of your course at Sydney courses.
Not suitable for: students who have not completed the equivalent of HSC Mathematics Advanced (2-unit) and/or are seeking to meet the mathematics prerequisite requirement for their intended courses. Bridging courses cover assumed knowledge, rather than required knowledge, so will not help you to meet the prerequisites. Find out about mathematics prerequisites and how you can meet the requirements.
Topics
The content will cover selected topics from Mathematics Extension 1 that we believe will be of most benefit to courses at The University of Sydney that have an assumed knowledge of Extension 1.
Delivery style
The self-service option for the course course will be delivered through an online Learning Management System (Canvas). The interactive components include: with a combination of digital resources, recorded lectures and check-your-understanding activities  You are expected to spend at least two hours per day on private study and homework during the bridging course, however there are no examinations.
For the face-to-face option, the above resources are included plus on-campus 2-hour tutorial sessions to check your understanding and practice your maths problems with our education staff to support your learning.
