University Bridging Courses
Many universities offer bridging courses which are designed to provide students with the necessary information to study certain courses and replace pre-requisites for others. For example, bridging courses can be offered in Science so that students can undertake a science degree without having studied Science at High School. These are generally run in the lead up to first semester admissions.
