University Guidance Appreciated

Hi, I would really appreciate some guidance. My name is Daphne. I have just turned 20 and am in my first year of undergraduate university. I am currently studying English Literature and Publishing at Bath Spa University. However, I have the grades to apply for a much higher-ranked university (equivalent of A*A*A*). I chose the course at Bath Spa because I could study publishing, however I am concerned that the low-ranking of my university will put me at a disadvantage. Would it be better to transfer in second year to study English Literature at a higher-ranking university, or to continue with my degree in English Literature and Publishing? Any advice or guidance would really be appreciated 🤍

Transferring would normally mean restarting from year one. You’d be better off arranging a placement year as part of your current course if you have a definite aim of working in publishing instead of restarting on a less industry relevant course

Thank you for your response. I would be able to transfer into second year at the other university.

Are you sure about that? - it's unusual for universities to have perfectly matching modules for first year, particularly if you're moving from a combined course to a single honours one.

Do you have a UCAS offer for year 2 entry from them?

Yep.

I'm not sure why you're asking for guidance then? You seem set on what you want to do

I am not sure at all. As I said in my query, I am asking what would be better for publishing.
