    I thought I would start a new thread about this.

    I am currently repeating Leaving Cert to get Medicine. In the really bad circumstances of me not getting Medicine(again) and going straight to another course such HEALTH & LIFE SCIENCES will I be able to at some stage transfer to Medicine or change my course to medicine.

    Or is there any other routes that you may know of?

    Have they not changed medicine entry? I thought you didn't have to get 600 anymore and it was partly aptitude test. The only way I know of is applying for GAMSATs after you finish a degree, but if you didn't do well in the aptitude test first time around, another aptitude test won't be of any use. You'd also have to pay really high fees. To hurry the process along, you might find a three year BSc to do somewhere.

    Yes but it won't be medicine as such, it will be a side branch of medicine. Get a degree in something related to medicine, then you can opt to do a post-grad related to medicine.

    I was looking at transferring from arts to psychology, and was told I still needed the points to be able to transfer, so I'd assumer that'd be the same across the college.
