    Is this true? If so, that is completely and utterly ridiculous. Why do they not use the date the course starts?

    My bday is Jan 5th, so despite being 23 and 9 months I would not be counted as a mature student, so would effectively have to wait til I was almost 25.

    Yeah it has always been 23 on or before the 1st of January in the year you wish to commence as far as I know.

    all the courses/unis start on different dates so it makes sense to have 1 set date. This is pretty standard, for example sports teams etc!
