What will you be doing over the Easter break? >>

Can I change course after firming it?

I firmed an offer from the University of Nottingham to study Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence. However, I realised I want to switch to just Computer Science.

Will I be able to change? If the university agree, how will it work on ucas? I've already firmed the offer so how would I be able to see the change?

That guidance is more to do with swapping firm
and insurance choices.

For a change or course at a current choice they just need to speak to that uni directly. The 14 days doesn’t apply here.

Ah great thanks. So just to clarify even though I’ve firmed the course at that uni, if they agree to change, the change will show on ucas.

Thanks for the clarification!

Hi! Email [email protected] providing your UCAS ID number and requesting a course change and they will look into whether this is possible for you. If it is possible, your current offer will be replaced with the new offer
