JumpSTART Physics
is a summer school course to prepare students to confidently undertake the PHSI 191 Biological Physics course. The purpose of this course is to provide students with the background knowledge and study skills necessary to confidently undertake the PHSI 191 Biological Physics course at Otago. It is designed for students whose training in high school Physics and Mathematics is incomplete, having not taken Year 12 (NCEA Level 2) Physics. Students undertaking this course will still need to meet the University's admission and entrance criteria in order to proceed to full credit study.
The course is intensive and interactive and runs in the Physics Department in the 3 weeks Monday 28 January - Friday 15 February 2013. This is a full-time course and cannot be taken concurrent with another Summer School/Continuing Education paper.

Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for this course. However, General Science and Mathematics at NCEA Level 1 or above would be an advantage.
Please Note: JumpStart Physics is designed to provide appropriate background and study skills to students intending to take PHSI191 Biological Physics, a First Year Health Science paper. Students enrolled in PHSI191 in semester one 2013 will be given preference.
