The UTS Mathematics and Science Study Centre (MSSC) helps to transition new UTS students from high school mathematics to university studies.

Teacher–student classroom study session

What is the UTS Mathematics and Science Study Centre?

Most UTS courses do not have prerequisites, however, there is an “assumed knowledge” requirement for many quantitative subjects - that is, a student is assumed to have the level of knowledge required to pass the relevant subject in the HSC. The MSSC assists in narrowing this gap between high school and university studies by providing support in introductory mathematical and quantitative areas including statistics and selected first-year science subjects.

Drop-in room

On campus

  • Building 4, Level 3 room CB04.03.331
  • Academic staff members are available at the scheduled timetable for personal tutorial assistance or any mathematical/science study-related issues. Just “drop in”, bring a question, and a tutor on duty is there to help.
  • No appointment is required, and the service is free for all UTS students.
  • The Drop-in room is helpful around tests and exam time. Whenever you are ready to seek academic help, please come and see our friendly teachers – there is no judgement, just have a one-to-one conversation with our friendly staff about your maths/stats/science problem.

Timetable for drop-in room 

The mathematics and statistics tutors are available on weekdays during Autumn 2025 teaching weeks. The MSSC is closed during StuVac and public holidays. 

Regular subjects and subject consultations are scheduled for the entire Autumn 2025 semester.

From 12pm till 6pm weekdays, the room can be used as a quiet study room when not otherwise being used.
