    I hope this doesn't sound too idiotic, but is there any dates where we have to go in to fully confirm or enrol in our course or something, before the course starts?

    anyone in the POLSIS department know how easy it will be for me to change from International relations with political science to just straight international relations ? I would have thought pretty easy considering they are almost identical degrees bar a few options ? And would be it be best to change before I arrive or when there ?

    Hi ! I`m a EU student, and even though I`ve sent by mail the evidence of my qualification as requested, and even scanned them and attached to an e-mail, I`ve still got any response from the uni. Almost all of my friends got the confirmation; so how much longer do I have to wait? I`m getting pretty worried xD.

    btw, I`ve applied for the Business and Management (with Year in Industry) course.
