Course content
Introductory Mathematics for Engineers (Level 3)
This content is taken directly from our one-semester bridging programme that leads to the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical or Electrical).
The content is taken from three existing taught courses: Algebra 2, Algebra 3 and Introductory Mathematics for Engineers. It has been specifically designed to enable you to gain the necessary maths skills to enter the Diploma.
We start at Level 1 and then build up over the four weeks to Level 3. Each day will involve working through maths exercises as a group and sometimes you will work independently.
Student loans and allowances
Please note that Student Loans and Allowances are not available for this four-week course.
