Biology Bridging Course 2025

This bridging course has been designed to assist students in gaining an understanding of core biological concepts and processes prior to commencing the unit BIO1011 – Blueprints for Life*. It is targeted towards and is most beneficial to students who have not completed senior secondary biology (such as VCE or equivalent) or have been out of high school for more than two years. This course also introduces students to the structure and format of First Year Biology, as well as the online learning systems which are widely used at Monash.

This course runs over three days (Monday to Wednesday), and students have a choice of two delivery modes (selected during registration):

Hybrid

The hybrid mode delivers the course content both on campus and online. On campus activities include face-to-face workshops and a campus tour. This mode is highly recommended as it provides great opportunities to meet, interact, and learn in person with the First Year Biology staff and fellow students.

Online

The online mode delivers the course content fully online, with on campus workshops livestreamed and recorded. This is the perfect choice for students who prefer online only learning or are unable to travel to campus during the dates this course is offered.

The course runs in both hybrid and online modes from Monday 17th February to Wednesday 19th February 2025 inclusive**. Hybrid mode students may attend both on campus and online. Online students may only attend online.

Students will select their mode of enrolment during registration.

*Please note that you must be officially enrolled as a student in BIO1011 in order to take this course.
**This course does not begin until February 2025. You will receive access information and details via your registered email address leading up to the start date of the course.
