Mathematics study centre

The School of Mathematical Sciences operates the Mathematics Study Centre. The Centre provides support to all UTS undergraduate and postgraduate students studying in various introductory mathematical and quantitative areas including statistics.

Academic staff members are available at the scheduled timetable for personal tutorial assistance and any problems related with their mathematical studies. The Centre coordinates all mathematics support services in the University.

In addition, the Centre also runs Saturday workshops during semester and in the final exam period for many first year mathematics and statistics subjects. These workshops are timed to assist students in their preparation for quizzes and the final exam.

The Mathematics Study Centre is located on both UTS City Campus, in room 1615, level 16, building 1 (tower) and in room 520 and 523, building 2, UTS Kuring-Gai Campus
