Cardiff Alternative offer query

I’ve been rejected from dentistry but been offered a place in Medicinal Chemistry, but I’ve emailed Cardiff asking if I could switch it to an accounting with a business placement, as this subject area was my backup and I have a lot more interest in it. Do you think they’d allow this and has anyone gone through a similar process?

Hiya!
Asking the admissions team is probably the right first step! I believe it would really depend on whether you meet the entry requirements and whether there would be space on the course. You might find the University's document on Terms and Conditions of Offer helpful:
Requests to change a programme/course of study during the application stage or on arrival at the University are not guaranteed and are subject to availability and meeting the terms of entry for that specific programme.
You also have the opportunity, once you are enrolled, to change your course within the first 2 weeks on university. However, this again, depends on entry requirements and availability they have on the course. You can find this information on this page here.
Let us know how things go! Wish you the best
