University Courses after VCE

[Christiano]

^ 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

Do you have more information about 'bridging courses'? Is it easy to transfer from one university to another? What are the circumstances needed to do this?

Or I could just end up doing methods, but the next problem would be trying to get 25 SS. So I think I would need at least 20 RAW, is that correct?

For courses that you are interested that you listed before, most of them (at UoM and Monash at least) need at least 25 raw.  Check Course Search for more details.

im sure you could get 25 easily, if you are poor at maths though, just do all the homework, a couple of prac exams and around 25 should be very achievable.

and with the bridging course: in last year's unimelb open day, my friend asked if they could get into science without methods, and they said a bridging course was available at this particular place, i just searched and couldn't find it. i recall that the recommended time to complete it was 12 weeks (you do it all in your own time, it was self-learning with tests and an exam at the end). perhaps call up biomed or science tomorrow to find out about an accredited one?

Thanks, I'll look into it. What exactly would you learn in the bridging course?

[*ryan777*]

im not sure, but i think the bridging course your looking for is "unilearn"

[vexx]

ryan i think that was it:)

well what you learn is:
Introduction to Functions
Coordinate Geometry and Trigonometry
Calculus and its Applications
Financial Mathematics and Statistics.
the course outline is here http://www.unilearn.net.au/courses/maths-senior.php

i suggest just do methods in year 12, since you have the choice and don't want to limit your options or have to go through the hassle of the bridging course, but it's really up to you.

Yeah, I keep thinking about that .. But it's so time consuming, and I'm already like 15 exercises behind LOL, and it'll just get harder.. The 25 SS I need looks like its already out of reach.

^ yeah methods is far too time-consuming, i'm a little behind too but we have a sac next week so i'll try and catch up on most of it by then.
just do a few questions from each and spend a couple of hours getting up to date. even if you have a vague understanding, getting 25 will not be out of your reach, you just need a little understanding to get there.

dw about being a little behind, there are plenty of schools out there packed with students who aren't very smart, and just as lazy .....i should know as i was one
seeing as vce is all ranking anyway, you should do fine

Actually, back to the question.. From what I know, read and heard...
Once youre 21 you can apply for any course as a student.

Its possible, but I mean you'd waste 3 years straight away..

Dude, I stopped bringing any books/calculators to Methods since about august of Year 12, spent every class talking to mates and I got a 22 SS. I'm sure if you do just a little bit you can get that 25. Oh and I'm really shit at Maths too

Well, number one, it depends on the course and faculty.

But once you're >21, then you're a mature aged student. You still have to prove to the university that you're capable of completing the course. Have a look at Monash's policy below

What are you going to do till your 21 ... chief burger flipper?

I don't think any of the fast food chains still flip burgers.

Very motivating
