YES Christiano, this is true.

You will enter university as a mature age student (25 years +), at this stage your ENTER in invalid and does not mean anything.
how ever if you do not get the ENTER you need, you can do a general course, ie for law you do arts, for medicine you do biomedical science or health science. once you have done this for a year, your marks (first year uni marks) replace your ENTER score and then if you try to transfer into your prefered course eg law, your first year results for that arts degree will be looked at not your ENTER. and then you can either continue the original degree and end with a doubloe degree or you can drop the course entirely...

hope this has helped...... but yer you can do anything you want once you turn 21, but by that time you have already worded for 3 years and may not want to go back to school after earning all that money along with the new lifestyle.

Thanks a lot, that did help me a lot, as I will most likely be taking a general course then transferring to the preferred course.

However, with law, I checked out the melbourne arts degree, and there is no topic to major in for 'law', closest i could find relating to law was politics ..
