The course does not offer formal accreditation or prerequisite qualifications for University of Sydney enrolment.

What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you will:

  • Gain knowledge and skill sets applicable to undertaking first-year biology units.
  • Receive a certificate of participation upon course completion. The certificate of participation does not hold any accreditation or qualifications for University of Sydney degrees or enrolment.

Faculty of Science

The Faculty of Science is dedicated to the contribution of education and research of the highest quality within a comprehensive range of scientific fields.

Content

You will explore core biology concepts in four modules, one module per week:

  • Diversity & Evolution
  • Cell Biology
  • Energy
  • Genetics & Inheritance

The course is suitable for assumed knowledge of biology which will support students moving into the first year of their tertiary studies. It is designed for science students enrolling in first-year biology and have not completed HSC Biology (or equivalent) or found Biology difficult at school. Anyone may take this bridging course regardless of which tertiary institution they are enrolling in.

Biology On-Campus

The face-to-face course option will be an intensive set of lectures, practicals and workshops tutorials by the biology team. This will also include access to the self-serve online resources. Each day, students will participate in a mixture of lectures, investigative laboratories, and interactive workshops. For laboratory sessions, need to bring your own lab coat, safety goggles and wear appropriate footwear that covers the toe, heel, and top of the foot.
