Bridging Courses (1 Viewer)

[PaterzAttack]

Can someone please explain how bridging courses work?
Is it the HSC course in a shorter time pretty much? Is there a HSC equivalent test afterwards?

Last month University of Newcastle sent me a letter about bridging courses for Engineering
According to the letter you need at least a band 5 in Maths
It doesn't say anything about a bridging course in my offer:

Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) - full or part time at University of Newcastle, Callaghan campus Offer text: Offer note 1: Offer note 2:

I cruised through prelim but then dropped MX1 and got my shit together for the HSC. I ended up getting a 69, just missing out on a band 4.

A bridging course usually gets you to take two units over the year from the course you want to study as well as another 6 units of general uni courses - ie writing essays, referencing, studying and all that jazz which is appropriated to your course.

Nothing like doing HSC again.

Essentially bridging courses condense the content from the HSC-equivalent subject into a short period (e.g. 2 weeks). I'm not too sure whether there are tests though. I wouldn't expect there to be so.

Good luck fitting a year of Maths in 2 weeks (whilst actually absorbing it properly)

Study math on this website and i think it should be enough

I have friends who did 2 unit maths and cruised through uni maths. First year maths is quite easy. Just use google and youtube.

But I'm doing ~~Civil Engineering~~
I needed a Band 5 in HSC Maths; and because I didn't get one, I need to do bridging course

Do the bridging course. You'll be right mate. Plus it will help you with other stuff too.
