Is it possible to change degree at Edinburgh University??

Hi, I got an offer from Edinburgh Uni (Accounting & Finance) as an international student. But I really want to change my degree into Edinburgh Math school. Cosidering I did A-level Pure Maths and Further Maths (Both are A*), is it possible to change my course before starting the first year??

Hey, I think you may only be able to change your degree once you actually start uni at Edinburgh in September
You can change to most degrees if you’ve met the entry requirements and there’s space on the course you want to swap into within the first two weeks
So I think during freshers week or the first week of semester you should go talk to whoever your assigned academic advisor is and they can then contact the maths school etc and see where it takes you from there and hopefully you’ll be able to change! Hope this helps 😊

Or alternatively maybe even drop the uni an email so you can maybe give them a heads up about it for September
