Does changing course look bad to employers?

I am a first-year student and am currently studying mathematics at university. I'm finding the content very difficult and I know I would be much more likely to get a first if I switch to a course like finance, accounting, and management or industrial economics.

Would this look bad to employers?

Change of course/Dropping a course doesn’t look bad to employers at the end of the day it’s your preference your choice. Do you believe those are the courses needed or to study to get you to where you want to after you’ve left university…

Thanks for the reply. Would this still be the case even if I have to redo the entire year? This would be the only option for me if I wanted to change course.

Would it not be seen as a weakness having to drop a course?

As an employer, whether it looks bad or not depends on your narrative and messaging.

“I realised it wasn’t the right course for me. I therefore made the tough decision to change course and restart my degree. I feel this was the right choice because I graduated with a first. I learnt from this that its OK to check that a decision is still correct as and when new information becomes available and it’s never too late to do the right thing”

It doesn't look bad at all. You will have to start as a first year student on almost all courses (possibly a few exceptions).

Only thing to note is that a 2.1 from a decent university in maths may look better than a 1st in accounting/ business etc from the same university.
