University Courses after VCE

[Christiano]

I'm not 100% on this, but supposedly you can choose any uni course you want when you're 21 or something because your ENTER expires in 2 years, the catch being that the government does not pay for your tuition. Could people share their knowledge/experience on this?

[superflya]

dont think so, people would just bludge another 3 years after vce and go into the course they want if that were true

[schmalex]

Partially true. You can get in with a crap ENTER, but you generally need to have done well in a relevent TAFE course, or in a job related to the course, and you need to fill out a form saying why you want to do the course and stuff....you don't just pick anything you wanna do and you'll get in

Why waste three years of your life though lol.

You'll be applying as a non-year 12 student and one of the forms you will have to fill in is called a Personal Information (PI) form.

Might not get into the desired course. My example is that I want to do something like genetic engineering or something in neuroscience, and keep the option of medicine open, however, I want to drop methods, and it is a prerequisite for pretty much all the courses I want to do (Science, Biomedicine, Medicine), and my 2nd preference would be something in law, but it's quite competitive and requires high ENTER scores.

medicine doesn't require methods, and i'm there are science degrees not requiring methods. if i'm not mistaken neuroscience at monash isn't methods either.

i'm sure you can get into atleast a science degree at monash even, and transfer if you want into a different course.
there's no need to waste 3 years of your life wanting to get into uni a different way.

science doesn't need methods? oh lol
you can easily do something in genetic engineering if u do science... u can do something in neuroscience too doing like physiology...

yeah it doesn't only unimelb need methods.

sorry i was mistaken, you need methods.

You need methods in those courses you listed. I think every science course except Deakin (or is it latrobe) needs methods as a prerequisite. And the only health/science based course i could find in TAFE was something like health science, not too sure if it has relevance to science courses at uni.

i think you have read it wrong, you do not need methods for monash science.

[Glockmeister]

Well, actually

Science only needs English and one other science/maths, so you don't need methods, if you can fill the pre-reqs another way (e.g. doing psychology or biology).

Sorry, misread it to be Methods and one or more of biology, physics etc.

Though, I don't know if it is feasible going to monash at clayton because I live in the western suburbs, I think its too far even by car (45 min drive I think), longer for public transport.

Is there other ways to get into UoM bachelor of science without having to do methods? Eg. I heard of doing one year at a university then transferring to UoM. If it is possible, what may/are the circumstances be if you are to be accepted?

WOOPS

^ you can also do a bridging course over summer before uni starts and use that as credit to get into science at melbourne, it's possible to do this, but i don't know how realistic your chances are of finishing the course and applying it as credit, perhaps you can do begin second semester?
or just do another science degree elsewhere doing a methods in a semester type course there and then transferring
