Hello, sorry to hear you are feeling unsure about your studies. I know this isn’t the best feeling! I changed degree in my first year after Christmas, I actually changed universities and ended up re-starting from first year all over again in Liverpool! This was a big decision for me, however, I knew I was unhappy in my previous degree and did not see a point continuing if I felt it wasn’t for me and wouldn’t get me on the path I wanted to be on.
I made meetings with careers advisors, the wellbeing team and got valued advice from my personal tutor. I would definately recommend using your uni’s support services, they will know who to contact and will offer the best advice on what to do next! Also do speak to your parents and peers, it’s always good to speak up and ensure you’re supported in your decisions 😊
From my own experience, if you are feeling unsure about continuing your degree and are certain you want to change- do it! It would be a shame if you spent 3 years competing a degree you felt anything less than passionate about. Good luck and do what’s best for you! 😊
