Can I Change My Course Application?

Hello everyone

I applied to Durham for Education Studies with Geography instead of the course I originally wanted to take, Combined Honours in Social Sciences, because my predicted grades suited Education Studies more, and I was (and still am) unsure about my future career plans. However, since receiving an offer for Education Studies I have really regretted not applying for Combined Honours. I'm not sure if there's anything I can do- my predicted grades are AAA but the entry requirements are A*AA. I know some universities take other factors into consideration and I am from a low income background, but I've been told by other sources that it's too late to change courses as my application has been sent since November and I used up all five choices.

I'm sorry if I'm just confirming what I already think I know (there's no use in trying to change my application), but would there be a chance for me to switch from Education to Combined Honours at this point in the year? (pre-firm and insurance confirmation)

I originally applied for Geography and realised about a month ago that I would rather do PPE. I emailed admissions, they forwarded my request to the departments and two weeks later I got an offer for PPE. So it's definitely worth emailing admissions and requesting the change.

That's amazing! Well done for receiving a second offer! May I ask what you included in your email?
