The University of Sydney Removes Advanced Mathematics Prerequisite for Some Courses
This week, the University of Sydney announced it will be removing the Advanced Mathematics prerequisite requirement for entry into a number of courses in 2025. This will apply to the following degrees:
- Bachelor of Commerce
- Bachelor of Economics
- Bachelor of Project Management
- Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Medicine
- Bachelor of Psychology including (Honours)
- Bachelor of Science
- Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
Courses that still require the Advanced Mathematics prerequisite entry are:
- Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
- Bachelor of Pharmacy
- Bachelor of Advanced Computing
Before Year 11 and 12 students rush to drop to Standard Mathematics, it is essential they consider the level of Mathematics that suits their individual interests and tertiary study plans. Many courses still have “assumed knowledge” and “recommended studies” for Advanced Mathematics to ensure students gain the required skills and knowledge to succeed in the first year at university. Ultimately decisions should not be made on “getting in” but rather on “preparing” to thrive in the desired course at a tertiary level. Further information about the prerequisite change is available on the University of Sydney website.
We are currently enjoying meeting all Year 12 students this Term and creating goals and career plans. Appointments can be made via the Careers Lampada page.
Finally, the latest Careers News, which has been emailed out to all Year 10 to 12 parents and posted on the Careers Hub on Teams for students is also available on the Careers Lampada page.
