University question

[1beerplease]

Greetings people, i am a 23 year old from Australia wanting to go to uni. I dropped
out of school at the end of year 10 and started my apprenticeship. I
have been reading online a lot about the process and requirements for
going to uni and it confuses me. For starters the subjects that i read
alot about at home and the ones i would want to study are Physics,
biology and chemistry. I dont know where to start to begin this process,
i understand i will need some higher education to be excepted into a
university. I was thinking tafe, than i read somewhere about open
universities and doing online courses. What type of courses would be
best suited?

I am lost as where to start pre uni education and what courses to take, and what process will be after that.

Thank you.

You can do A-levels in mathematics and physics online. These could be of interest to you. If you are interested send me a message and I can give you more details.

In the UK - and in much of the world - after the age of 23-25ish you can study degree level courses without the same prerequisites that a school leaver would need. I did bachelors and masters part-time in my 30s at Birkbeck in London and I don't think there were any requirements other than high standard of english comprehension. The admissions process was quite strict for those without prior academic success - but by no means exclusionary. The courses at Birkbeck generally lasted a year longer than those full time at a university immediately after school and the drop out rate was extreme - seemed like about 50%. I would be very surprised if there were not similar institutions in Oz
