The four week course is delivered at Monash College located in the Melbourne CBD.

Maths Bridging explores the properties of functions and their graphs, calculus processes of differentiation and anti-differentiation, and the application of these properties and processes.

You will study: – functions and their graphs and inverse functions – exponential, logarithmic and circular functions – techniques and applications of calculus.

If you successfully pass the Monash Maths Bridging course, you will be considered to have met the mathematics prerequisite for your preferred Business and Economics, Engineering, Information Technology or Science degree at Monash University (see table on Page 6 for a full list of eligible degrees). If you meet all other course entry requirements you will be considered for a Round 2 offer into your chosen course.

Once you have completed the Monash Maths Bridging course, first round offers will have been made, but you do have the opportunity to reorder your preferences between round one and two offers being released. Be aware that you can receive only one offer per offer round and this will be for your highest eligible preference.

You should ensure you are happy with the ordering of course preferences in your VTAC application.

Monash Maths Bridging is only accepted by Monash University. It is not accepted by other institutions.

COURSE OVERVIEWMonash Maths Bridging is for students who narrowly miss the mathematics prerequisite for a Monash University Engineering, Information Technology, Science or Business and Economics undergraduate degree.

It provides the knowledge, essential skills and methods to students that have not otherwise met the mathematics prerequisite for the Monash University course of their choice.
