Hi there,

It's great to hear you're passionate about the new pharmacy course! A few steps you could take to find out if the switch in courses would be suitable for you and how to do it are:

Speak to an Academic
If you have an assigned advisor, they would be the best to speak to. If not, then a course leader or lead lecturer will also be able to help. Discuss your thoughts on changing courses and highlight how you would remain on the current course if unable to switch. Academics are usually more than happy to help!

Reach out to Admissions
Email [email protected] with the full details of your situation. They should be able to provide more information and support relevant to you. Explore both options of switching courses and remaining on your current one.

Understand any impact to student loans or funding
You can speak with one of our Finance Advisers within the Student Life building by emailing [email protected] and requesting an appointment, or by calling 01642 342277. They will be able to discuss how switching courses may impact any funding or loans you might be receiving.

Hope this helps, and the best of luck! 😊

Thanks,
C
