Hi there,
Every university has different policies about changing subject. It really depends on how similar the course, how soon you decide to change and whether or not the course has the space to accommodate so there's no telling whether it is likely or unlikely. Generally though, universities should be pretty helpful if you feel you are not on the right track.
My best advice is to get in touch with your university admissions (assuming you haven't started university yet, otherwise reach out to your tutor). Let them know you want to discuss switching course either by email or by calling if possible and they should be able to tell you whether or not this is possible.
Good luck!

Hiya
The best thing to do would be to contact both the admissions team and your department. Changing courses now would be more difficult since places have been confirmed but sometimes the departments are willing to accommodate a few switches.

Hiya
I wouldn't say it's unlikely but it's more difficult compared to when a course change request is made before results day. I do know people who have been able to change courses once they started at Durham so it's not impossible. I hope they'll let you change it, good luck!

Is Durham lenient if you do not meet their offer requirements?
