If you want to "escape" the admissions system in your home country, Austria is the place to be. Even for particularly popular fields of study, such as medicine and law, your final school grades are irrelevant. Everyone can register for their desired field of study and, in the end, depending on the number of available places, the results of an entrance examination decide who is admitted.
