Up-to-date knowledge increases your chances of success

This is a bridging course between secondary school and university. It goes through some of the skills and knowledge that we think are so important that they ought to be refreshed before your university studies. It is flexible: you study at a pace that suits you.

Here is how it is envisaged that you will work with the course:

• In any given section, start by reading the review and then study the examples.
• Work through the exercises and then answer the questions in the basic test belonging to the section. If you get stuck, see if someone has asked a question about this particular part of the course in the forum, or else ask a question yourself.
• When you are finished with the exercises and the basic test in one section, take the final test of the section to obtain a pass for that section.
• When you have passed all the final tests you will be given an individual assignment that you should solve independently and submit, after which you will work in a group.

Your personal mentor assists you

When you log in with your user name you will be taken to the "Student lounge." Here you will find the email address and telephone number of your personal mentor, whom you can contact if you get stuck on a question or have anything else you need help with.

The mentors are teachers and students at the universities taking part in this course. Our common goal is that everybody who starts on the course manages to complete it and thus has a good grounding for their future university studies. For us, there no such thing as a stupid question; if something is not clear to you, the chances are you are not alone!
