Changing majors/ courses in UK
Hi, I was wondering if changing your major (or your course) in an university in England is easy?
In America I know that it's something everybody does but I read somewhere that in England you have to commit to just one course and I wanted to know if that was true or not.
Thanks!

In general terms, yes it is true. You are accepted to study say, economics, and that's what you study - and it's the only thing you study. There are not usually 'minors' or general education distribution requirements. It is sometimes possible to change but unless there is significant overlap (say biology to zoology) you may have to begin again from the start. It is certainly NOT as easy as it is in the US.
