Many university courses in the UAC guide show either Assumed Knowledge or Recommended Studies in their information. These are courses that you might have taken in Years 11 & 12. If you have not taken them it will not affect your entry into the course, but it might affect how well you do on the course! See the first pages of each universities' entry in the UAC Guide to see if they offer Bridging Courses. These will improve your level of knowledge before you start your degree.
