accepting offer whilst waiting for another

This may be a dumb question, but if I apply to Uni A for master's courses 1 and 2, and I have received an offer for course 1 but not 2, can I accept 1 and then (if I receive an offer for 2), reject it to accept course 2?
Thank you

Most unis will be fine with you amending your acceptance from one course to another.

If you did get an offer for course 1, they would usually advise you if there were any acceptance or deposit deadlines. At which point it's usually best to advise them that you are awaiting a decision regarding another course at the same uni, and they can advise if ther is any wiggle room.

Thank you 🙂 I called to make sure, wasn't sure if I'd get through to them because of call waiting times lol

No problem. Are both courses in the same department? That will usually help matters.
