Wanting to change course next year

So basically I failed two modules due to my really bad mental health, and honestly not really feeling the course. Would it be possible to change to a different course and start again instead of retaking the current module and stay on the same course.

Hi Anon, really sorry to hear about your struggles on your course ☹️ But it is possible to transfer onto a new course, however you may have to start it from year one, but most likely you'll still be able to receive funding for the entire new course- providing it is still a 3 year bachelor's.

Please find guidance from our website:
"If you want to change to a new course you will be expected to complete its full academic requirements. Normally you will be required to start the new course at the beginning. However, if you have earned relevant credit in your current course, you may be eligible to carry this over to the new course."

Tomorrow (results day) may be a good opportunity to make that decision, we have both web chat and phone lines available, for those details and to check which courses are available to still start in September 2024, visit our clearing pages 🙂 :
