Maths and science

Mathematics and science are often a part of university study, so it is important to develop the mathematical skills necessary for study within some disciplines. Particular resources are available for students who have maths anxiety or for students who are studying mathematics off-campus. Assistance is also available with using calculators  and maths assessment.

Online readiness testing and study materials are available to assist students to be prepared for the maths in USQ programs such as nursing, economics, statistics and engineering.

A range of downloadable print materials for a range of maths and science topics are available to help you to improve your prerequisite mathematics skills, as well as additional online maths and sciences resources [no content yet].

Communication for Academic Purposes (CAP) is a 50 hour online course for students who are uncertain about commencing university study, and contains modules about maths and sciences. It is recommended if English is your second language. USQConnect login and password are required to access this course, but it is accessible to all USQ students.
