Maths as Part of Many Courses

Mathematics plays a crucial role in any education. Many first year courses at UNSW assume you already have a certain level of knowledge of mathematics.

Below is a list of courses that assume a certain competency in mathematics.

If you don't have the knowledge assumed, don't panic. The School of Mathematics and Statistics runs a bridging course to build HSC Mathematics knowledge to a level close to HSC Mathematics Extension 1 knowledge. And if this is not enough to bridge the gap in your knowledge, UNSW also runs a Mathematics Skills Program to provide basic secondary school mathematics training.

Bare in mind that catching up on knowledge involves hard work and it is always best, if you can, to gain the right amount of knowledge at school.
