I want to change my masters course

So, I've just recently started a masters (2 years - pre reg) physio course in September and to say I am HATING it would be an underestimate. Before applying I was always torn between Physio and OT, but I went with Physiotherapy and regret it massively. I've only been on the course 4 weeks and I'm just not enjoying it, I have 0 motivation and don't even engage properly in sessions, I find myself switching off very quickly.

I fear I've made a huge mistake and would ideally like to change to OT, however, the university I'm with doesn't offer OT, so I'd have to apply to another uni and may have to wait until September 2025. What should I do? Will I still be entitled to my funding for tuition and maintenance loan? Any help would be appreciated. To add: Ive already recived the first payment of tutuon/maintenance for my physio course.Thanks!

Hi Bethanie,

What is the full name of the course and university you are looking to change to and is your current course a Postgraduate Healthcare? Thanks, Jason
