How easy is it to switch courses at these Unis?

As a result of wanting to apply for radically different courses I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with switching university courses at Exeter, Bristol, Warwick or Bath - would be applying for classics and switching to marketing or business malarkey.
I will probably get > 3As

So you want to apply to classics at all four then switch? why aren't you applying to business or marketing in the first place?

I will apply for classics at Oxford no question. Unfortunatly my personal statement then becomes knackered :/

I'm not sure if this is what you meant but if you want to change course choices at a university you've applied to you will need to contact them immediately (I would going on the course page on the uni website and email the course email) and let them know you would like to change course to theirs. They will probably ask you to submit a new personal statement by email for that course or they might have other requirements but they would let you know (Don't forget to tell them your important details such as UCAS ID number, Subject choices and predicted grades) I recently just changed my course choice at Leeds and that's what I had to do!!
Its not a hard thing to do just ask them and see but the quicker the more likely they'll accept you for the new course

Hope this was a relevant answer and helped you out a bit or anyone reading this!

So oxford is the only place you'd consider studying classics?

So next year you want to apply for Classics at Oxford and business/management at your other four choices?

Well another option is to apply to Classics at The Other Place (Cambridge) instead. You then use their SAQ to provide an additional PS just for Cambridge. And write your main UCAS PS just for business/management.

I don't know how Oxford would view a similar scenario. I'll tag @BrasenoseAdm for you...

What is this SAQ? ( sorry i haven't been through the ucas system yet )

For cambridge there's an additional form they send you to fill in which covers what you've studied at school and other info they can't get through ucas, such as class size.
One section consists of a second, shorter(only 1200 characters if I remember correctly) personal statement. Why only classic at cambridge/oxford and otherwise business management, they're very different subjects.

Employment after classics is sketchy, and the only redeeming factor for future prospects is the Oxford badge

Wouldn't you rather do a course you enjoy though?
Or do you enjoy business just as much?

i enjoy both equally
