[TheDream]

Hey guys, I was wondering, I wanted to get into commerce at ANU but I'm not doing the subject that satisfies the maths requirement. I might go for arts or science. Does ANU offer the required maths equivalent subject that you can undertake to satisfy the maths requirement. Or would a bridging course be possible?

Maths and chemistry offer bridging courses

Bridging courses

Mathematics: Three bridging modules in mathematics are offered by ANU College. They are designed to assist students who lack necessary prerequisites, need to strengthen their mathematical background, or need a refresher course. They may also be taken as part of the University Preparation Scheme - read 'Alternative entry' above.

For further information call (02) 6125 2957 or visit www.anucollege.com.au/Programs/maths_bridging.shtml. If you are seeking admission to a program with a mathematics prerequisite on the basis of the 2009 intensive summer bridging course, you should advise the ANU Admissions Office in writing.

Chemistry: The ANU Department of Chemistry also offers a chemistry bridging course, which can be used to satisfy the chemistry prerequisite. Note, however, that the course is run in February, after UAC offers have been made, so admission to an ANU program with a chemistry prerequisite may have to occur at time of enrolment. Check with the Faculty of Science on (02) 6125 2809, visit http://chemistry.anu.edu.au/student/bridging/index.php or email mark.ellison@anu.edu.au.

As far a prequesited go, click the program you wish to do, and it will say something like this (prequesits are based on the subjects you do)

Prerequisites

There are no formal program prerequisites and many first-year science courses assume little specific knowledge. The exceptions are:

* For many of the biology majors, chemistry is a requirement, therefore it is recommended that students have at least an ACT minor (but preferably a major) in chemistry, or successful completion of a bridging course in chemistry, or multistrand science in NSW, or equivalent. Chemistry is essential for all later-year courses in the biological streams of biochemistry and cell biology, microbiology and immunology, molecular genetics, animal and human physiology, and some parts of botany and neuroscience. A bridging course is available in February details can be obtained through science.enquiries@anu.edu.au
* CHEM1101: At least an ACT minor (but preferably a major) in Chemistry, or successful completion of a bridging course in chemistry, or multistrand science in NSW, or equivalent, is required. Chemistry is essential for all later-year courses in chemistry. A bridging course is available in February details can be obtained through science.enquiries@anu.edu.au
* MATH1003: Assumed knowledge: ACT Mathematical Methods or NSW HSC Mathematics or equivalent
* MATH1005: ACT Mathematical Methods or NSW HSC Mathematics or equivalent
* MATH1013: A satisfactory pass in ACT Specialist Mathematics or NSW HSC Mathematics Extension 1 or equivalent. Students with a good pass in ACT Mathematical Methods or NSW HSC Mathematics or equivalent will be considered
* MATH1115: A satisfactory pass in ACT Specialist Mathematics double major or NSW HSC Mathematics Extension 2 or equivalent. Students with excellent marks in either ACT Specialist Mathematics major-minor or NSW HSC Mathematics Extension 1 or equivalent may be permitted to enrol
* PHYS1101: There is a corequisite of MATH1013/1115. See the entries above. There is no formal physics prerequisite but preparation is assumed and recommended. Recommended preparation is - NSW: a high standard in 2 unit physics or a multistrand science; ACT: a high standard in physics (major).

Prerequisites

None but there may be prerequisites or levels of assumed knowledge for individual subjects particularly science and language subjects.

My advice would be to choose your course, choose the general subjects you want to do, then see if they have prerequisite HSC subjects.
