Physics Bridging Course is a short introduction to studying physics, designed primarily for students enrolling in Engineering or Physical Sciences degrees at UTS who have limited background in physics. It does not attempt to cover HSC Physics, but it provides useful advice and background knowledge to assist with tertiary study at UTS.
The course runs for four days, three hours on each day and consists of a mixture of letures, labratories and problem solving tutorials.

Who should attend?

You are likely to benefit from this course if:

• You are a recent school leaver who did not complete HSC physics.
• You are a mature-age student returning to study after a period.
• You are not strong at mathematics (band 4 or below in HSC Mathematics).

If you have done HSC physics and have reasonable mathematical ability then you are advised not to do the bridging course as you will have sufficient background for first year physics subjects.

Although any students may attend this course, it has been designed to be of most value to students with no HSC Physics background who are entering UTS to study for a degree in:

• Engineering
• Physical Sciences (Applied Physics, Nanotechnology, Applied Chemistry, Forensic Science)

This course is not suitable for someone intending to take an entry examination where physics forms part of the examination, for example the GAMSAT examination.
