Get assistance with content, assumed knowledge, and study advice for mathematics, statistics and related units of study. The Learning Hub offers one-to-one individual support by drop-in or by appointment allowing you to choose an option that's right for you.

Our one-to-one services are available from the beginning of the semester, until the end of the formal exam period.

The Maths Drop-in Centre is a dedicated space where you can study and get help with your mathematics subjects. A friendly Learning Success Advisor is available at to assist with your enquiries and offer advice with the mathematical content or assumed knowledge of your coursework. Bookings are not required.

We'e open open from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm during semester until the end of the formal exam period. Find us in the Quadrangle, room N293.

Workshops

The Learning Hub runs individual workshops and ongoing Supplementary Learning Tutorials throughout the year to help you revise or consolidate your understanding in various topics such as algebra and calculus.

Our Supplementary Learning Tutorials follow the content taught in some of the core 1000 or 2000-level units. These can help you consolidate your knowledge as semester progresses. You'll have an opportunityto ask questions, discuss, and get additional help with content for your units of study at a pace tailored to your needs.

Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS)

PASS is a peer-facilitated program run by the Learning Hub and is available to students enrolled in certain units of study. Our facilitators are students who have successfully completed the unit of study and understand what is involved in completing the subject from a student’s perspective.

In a PASS session, you will review important and challenging content and gain discipline-specific skills through collaborative and interactive activities. This could include:

• collaboratively working through problem-based practice questions
• doing group practice quizzes
• reviewing material through mind maps or brainstorms.

PASS sessions begin in Week 2 of each semester and run until the end of STUVAC. To make the most of the program, we recommend you attend from the first session; however, you are welcome to join at any point during semester.  

To be eligible to attend the PASS session you just need to be enrolled in the unit of study.

Mathematics Academic Planner (MAP)

The MAP is a diagnostic tool designed to assist you in finding appropriate support based on your mathematics knowledge before undertaking studies in STEM fields. The MAP provides personalized feedback that can assist in subject selection and degree planning. You may also find the MAP helpful in assessing which areas of mathematics you require support and consolidation in during your studies.

Access MAP by logging in to our Canvas page.

Preparation programs and bridging courses

Our short intensives introduce you to, or help you revise, the mathematical assumed knowledge for your courses.

We also suggest visiting the University's Maths learning support page where you can chat to our maths bot to determine which units to enrol in and receive personalised advice for learning support.
