Changing course?

Changing course at our university in the same academic year

Typically, moving onto a different course during the same academic year is only permitted in the first 3 weeks of study. This is because changing to a new course later than this can negatively affect your performance on the new course, as you will have missed a lot of teaching.

If this is something you are thinking about, as well as talking to us about the suitability of new courses you are considering and how they might affect your career prospects, it is also worth speaking to your tutor about your ideas and speaking with the admissions team about the new course.

You can normally find an admissions contact telephone number on course finder, or, the iPoint could direct you to the school office of the school you are thinking of changing to.

Changing course at our university in the following academic year

If you are interested in changing onto a new course starting in the next academic year then we recommend you talk to us about how this change could affect your skills and employment prospects.

To make the change, you would need to speak to the admissions tutor of the new course to see if they can accept you. You can normally find an admissions contact telephone number on course finder, or, the iPoint could direct you to the school office of the school you are thinking of changing to.

Sometimes, your offer to change course can be dependent on your results from your current course, so don’t neglect your current studies just because you are thinking of changing them.
