This two-week course is designed to assist students who may not meet the knowledge requirements of a course or who are not confident with their preparation for university study. The course will be presented by experienced lecturers in Physics at UTS.

About this course

This course covers fundamental physics concepts such as accelerated motion, application of forces, oscillations, waves and thermal physics, along with essential problem solving and mathematics skills. It is taught at an introductory level, with the aim of assisting participants in narrowing the gap between high school physics and university studies. 

The course runs in the afternoon over two successive weeks.

Who is this course for?

This course is designed to assist students with any gaps in knowledge and skills during the transition to university study. This may be due (for example) to a limited coverage of physics or science in high school, or a long break away from study. It is expected that students will have completed year 10 high school science or physics, or their equivalents. The course is designed for:

  • School leavers who have completed their year 12 studies, but not the recommended level of physics
  • Returning or mature age students.
