Accidentally applied for integrated masters and given offer help

So I applied for Biomedical Sciences at the University of Southampton 5 days ago, and I received a conditional offer of ABB today, reduced from AAA since contextual offers applied to me, but I just realised that I accidentally applied for the integrated masters.. I emailed the university asking about the Biomedical Sciences undergraduate last month and they said if I was given an offer for that course, my conditional offer would be BBB. I really want to go to Southampton to do Biomedical Sciences and I'm not sure what to do since I accidentally picked the biomedical sciences integrated masters instead of undergraduate. I'm really upset what can i do somebody help please :frown:

Email them and they should be able to change it

It almost certainly doesn't matter, and it's probably the better option to have. If you are already on an integrated Masters, you can change your mind in your second year and graduate with a BSc in your third year. But if you apply and get on the BSc, you may not be able to get onto the integrated Masters if you change your mind later on. So stick with it, and just check there is the option to take the BSc if you want to.
Hi!

I hope this has already been fixed, if not don't hesitate to email and ask to switch to the Bsc. As mentioned, it's also very easy to switch off the integrated masters onto the Bsc once the course has begun. The biosciences department is great at this switch.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or worries about your application or degree in general!
