Change your course

Making a decision

Thinking of changing your course? We can help you: 

• Choose the right course
• Assess if a course change fits with your goals
• Discover suitable alternative courses
• Navigate the transfer process.  

Top Tips: 

1. If possible, act early in the academic year for a better chance of switching to your desired course. Read Changing or leaving your course on the Prospects website.
2. If you're sure you want to change course, connect with the course leader/admissions tutor of your preferred course and explain your reasons for the change. They'll be able to tell you if there is room on the course. It will be at their discretion whether you can transfer. 
3. If transferring within the University, obtain a transfer form from the new course administrator.
4. If transferring to another university, read the application process through UCAS. Seek advice from The Student Room and utilise resources like Student Finance England/Wales/Scotland/Northern Ireland for financial guidance. The Complete University Guide offers helpful information.
