Summer Term
Studying in Summer Term means you can complete 10 units of your program faster. You'll be able to concentrate on just one course instead of managing a few at a time during a normal semester.
The following courses will be offered online in a compressed delivery over a 4 week Summer Term period for Open Foundation, Open Foundation Extended, NUchance, and Yapug students:
EPHUMA135 Research in Action
Research in Action will teach you essential research, analysis and critical thinking skills while exploring a topic of your choice.
This is a great foundation to your future studies at University, and gives you the chance to try out an area of study you're interested in learning more about.
EPMATH109 Introduction to Maths
Fundamental Mathematics is an introductory mathematics course which covers mathematical skills relevant to degrees requiring a basic level of mathematical knowledge and ability. This course will give you an understanding of and competence in the skills of numeracy, arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio and scale measurement, basic statistics and units of measurement.
You may only choose one of the above courses to study in Summer term.
