Mathematics+Skills+Program

Some programs at UNSW specify a level of assumed knowledge equivalent to the achievement at Band 4 in the NSW HSC Mathematics course or equivalent. If you have not achieved this level in mathematics you are not prevented from enrolling but will be placed at a considerable disadvantage.

The University offers a Mathematics Skills Program (MSP) for students who have not achieved an appropriate level of mathematics at high school or equivalent and gain admission to UNSW degree programs with assumed knowledge in mathematics. successful completion program will enable students to enrol in standard Year 1 Mathematics and related courses in the following academic semester.

The Mathematics Skills Program is a fee-paying course and involves attendance at classes on Monday AND Wednesday evenings (6-8pm) for 13 weeks. The cost of the course is $600. The MSP is offered in Semester 1 and Semester 2 each year.

Students who elect to undertake the Mathematics Skills Program are advised to undertake a reduced load in their degree program in that semester in order to complete the MSP concurrently. While this may extend the total time for completion of the degree it may mean a greater chance of success in related courses.
