Southern Cross Campus
Level 3 Mathematics
Course Description
This course will enable study of Mathematics beyond secondary level. This course comprises of both Internal and External standards that contribute to the total credits. Students may sit for at-least one external at the end of the year which is optional depending on the pathway. This course is a University recognized subject, contributes to Numeracy and is eligible for Course endorsement.
This course is designed for students that are not certain about their career pathway yet, but still wish to pursue Mathematics. It covers a variety of topics, not specializing in Calculus or Statistics.
