Does anyone know how long Newcastle Uni takes to answer an enquiry?

Hey. I applied to enter Newcastle University this year and realised I had selected the slightly wrong course (instead of just computer science it was computer science with cyber security).

Unfortunately, I noticed this a day after the UCAS deadlines so I sent an enquiry through their online portal. This was on the 27th of January.

Yesterday I got an email that they accepted my application for the course with cyber security, so I'm scared they might change their minds about me changing course. :laugh:

I'd be fine with going in for CS with Cyber Security, but I'd rather choose the more generalised course to get a better feel the field of CS.

I know they must be very busy right now dealing with all the applicants, but I'm scared they might have lost my enquiry since it's almost been 3 weeks! :laugh:

I meant they might not allow me to change course*. Sorry for any confusion, I don't see an option to edit the thread.

I applied on the 18th of April for an MRes. I'm hoping I get a response before the end of this week to use in applying for the vice chancellor excellence scholarship whose deadline is next week. If the offer comes after the 25th 😒
