Preparatory Courses

The Mathematics Learning Centre offers preparatory courses called Transition Mathematics.  The aim of the courses is to revise and consolidate the basic mathematics considered essential for successful progress in a wide range of tertiary courses which have a mathematics component.

Transition Mathematics consists of three separate self-paced mathematics bridging courses for people who intend to undertake tertiary studies in the future, Transition Mathematics 1 (TM1) and Transition Mathematics +(TM+) and Transition Mathematics B(TMB).  It is directed at those needing revision in background mathematics as preparation for degree or associate diploma studies in business, social science, applied science (including health science), computing or engineering.  The course is also suitable for individuals who may wish to update their general mathematics skills.

If you are using these courses to meet prerequisite requirements it is necessary to obtain confirmation of their adequacy before enrolment. These courses may NOT meet prerequisite requirements of all institutions.

After working through the material of a course and successfully completing the assessment tests, students will be issued with a Statement of Completion.  An optional formal supervised examination is available on request. Students who complete the supervised examination, obtain a Statement of Attainment showing a grade of Fail, Pass, Credit, Distinction or Higher Distinction. These formal examinations are organised at a time and place suitable to the student.

Transition Mathematics 1(TM1) and Transition Mathematics +(TM+) and Transition Mathematics B(TMB) can be started at any time by downloading the application form and returning it to the Mathematics Learning Centre.
