Cambridge Engineering Options

So I got accepted into Cambridge Engineering but I got pooled into another college which doesn't offer a specialisation that I may want to do, and I also can't switch to natural sciences (physics) at that college as they require biology or chemistry. Is it possible to change colleges or is this very difficult to do?

It is reportedly extremely difficult to change colleges. Other than having a DoS from your college, all other teaching is done centrally from the department, so I’d be surprised if certain colleges do not allow specialisation.

Hello, can I just check, which specialization and where have you found it can’t be taken at your College? Honestly I haven’t heard of Cambridge colleges for engineering restricting your specialization but I am curious to hear as an engineering offer holder.
