Chapter 2 – Student and general information

Mathematics and ICT Study Centre

This information is current as at January 2008. The latest information is available from the Mathematics and ICT Study Centre.

The Mathematics and ICT Study Centre coordinates mathematics, statistics and basic computing assistance across the University and offers services to help students from all faculties. The Centre is equipped with computing and audiovisual equipment. Staff can assist students with common computing packages such as word-processing, spreadsheets, presentation managers, Mathematica, Minitab and SPSS.

Subjects and workshops

The Centre runs subjects to assist with particular courses, e.g. e-skills for Education and workshops such as Examination Preparation for Business. If there is sufficient need, subjects can be tailored to meet the needs of particular groups. Many bridging and support subjects are programmed at weekends.

Bridging courses in mathematics, statistics and computing

Short bridging courses, free for UTS students, are run in February and July. The courses cover the mathematical or statistical content students need for their degree programs. Computing for beginners is also available.

Peer tutoring

Third- and fourth-year students assist first-year students on a voluntary basis during semester. This gives all students involved in this process an opportunity to learn.

Research and curriculum development

Centre staff are active in education research and in the development of resources. The Centre is a member of the Bridging Mathematics Network and several international academics visit the Centre each year.
