I'm doing a combined english course with literature, language, and writing. Just started. I chose the uni because it offered all 3 and had a variety in the optional modules. There were about 5 courses I knew I wanted to do really badly, and the rest I'm indifferent about. Nothing I especially love or hate.
The second and third years picked their options, and 3 of my 5 are the least popular courses. The lecturer basically said that they weren't definitely in jeopardy but there were other modules they were thinking of rotating in as far as the bottom 3 were concerned because every module gets the same/similar amount of funding and there's no point giving the same amount of time and money to a course that 2 people are doing as a course 20 people are doing.
We're the last year that this course is available to so I'm hoping they'll just leave it alone. But they said they have these other courses they want to do instead and they're in a position that if there was a consensus to nix one or more of the bottom 3 they could switch them out literally tomorrow, they're that prepared to make the changes.
If they did go ahead I don't know what I'd do. Of the three courses, 2 of them apply directly to the job I'm aiming to do in the long run (teaching) and without being able to do those 2 modules I'd have no interest in continuing this course.
I would finish the first year, if that makes most sense, and then I'd be looking at transferring next summer.
Is it doable?
