Prepare for study across a wide range of Griffith degrees in science, technology, environment and engineering

Griffith University offer a number of bridging and short courses to prospective and commencing students. These courses are particularly useful for students who have no or limited prior studies in the study areas, have had a significant break from prior studies or who simply wish to have a refresher course in a particular field.

  • Self paced or intensive bridging courses meet the prerequisites to enter Griffith University.
  • Short courses assist commencing students to come 'up to speed' before starting university study.

Mathematics Boot Camp (Nathan)

Tuesday 12 February – Friday 15 February 2019

This intensive four-day revision course will assist students to gain skills and confidence in the basic techniques underlying a typical university Mathematics course. The course is primarily aimed at students who would like to improve their confidence in basic algebra, and those who have been away from Mathematics for some time looking to improve their skills.

Attention Linear Algebra (1201SCG) students: please complete the below algebra quiz for which the pass mark is 27 out of 30 (don’t look at the answers until you have completed the quiz.) If you cannot pass this quiz without difficulty, then you should seriously consider attending the Mathematics Boot Camp.

Chemistry Linking Course (Nathan)

Monday 4 February – Thursday 7 February 2019

If you have a limited background in chemistry or you lack confidence in your abilities to ‘handle’ some of the basic principles of chemistry, we have prepared this four-day course to help you develop self-confidence in some of the more fundamental concepts of the chemical sciences. This course is designed to introduce students to the language and elementary concepts used in first-year, first-semester chemistry. Also included will be instruction on the use of basic mathematics in chemistry.
