Anyone know how easy it is to change courses once you've been offered a place? It's a pretty major change- I've got an offer for Politics and I want to change to Physics. Is this even possible?

Ring up departments but don't set your heart on it as inter-departmental transfers at Manchester in my experience are ridiculously hard to get

Good choice. Physics here is great.

Best thing to do is to email the physics admissions tutor and ask him what you should do.

If you've got the right alevels then should be ok as all physics courses are in UCAS extra this year

Are you sure?

I think they might get a bit pissed off if I email them again as I've already changed courses once!
