This course aims to provide attendees with a summary of the key chemistry concepts that are considered assumed knowledge for first year tertiary chemistry subjects.
Chemistry bridging course
The course does not attempt to cover all HSC Chemistry rather it focuses on the foundations necessary for tertiary study. Students learn the concepts in lectures that are then directly followed by tutorials where they will work through related chemistry problems. Learn from experienced UTS academics.
This program is particularly useful for students intending to take courses in business, science, health, engineering and education.
At the end of the course, students will have increased confidence in chemistry and be better prepared for chemistry subjects.
