Overview

The Bridging Mathematics Course: Extension 1 is designed to assist students with a background in HSC Mathematics Advanced (2-unit) who wish to pursue degrees in engineering, mathematics, computer science, or physics where Extension 1 Mathematics (3-unit) is assumed knowledge.

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 understanding and apply mathematical concepts equivalent to Extension 1 Mathematics (3-unit)
  • 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.


Conducting excellent research and creating the next generation of science talent in Australia is core to the Faculty of Science, as they play a leading role in Australia's ability to compete scientifically on the world stage.

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.

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.

The self-paced 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. Access to the online Learning Management System (Canvas) will be made available from the 27th January 2025 and invitations to the content will be sent via email.

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. Access to the online Learning Management System (Canvas) will be made available from the 27th January 2025 and invitations to the content will be sent via email.

MySydney scholarship recipients starting their studies at the University of Sydney in Semester 1, 2025, may qualify for complimentary enrolment in the above Short Courses. For more information see MySydney Entry and Scholarship Scheme.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will receive a separate invitation to register for these courses in January 2025. Eligible scholars who register and pay for the course will be offered reimbursement in January 2025.

All participants should read our terms and conditions prior to enrolling.

Please note the following:

  • if you enrol in a self-paced course, a refund will not be granted in any circumstance, and you will not be eligible to withdraw from this course or to claim a credit voucher for the course cost;
  • if you enrol in a Bridging course (Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Mathematics) delivered by the Faculty of Science and cancel your enrolment or order within 48 hours of your purchase, we will refund the fees in full.
