Hello,
My school had severely screwed up my application (which is also my fault, but I don't want to get into it) and now I was offered to do a consolation Nursing Adult (BSc) degree in RGU. I want to know if I can switch it then, as I can't find any information regarding RGU and if they allow course switches. I have tried sending them emails about this and they have ignored me.
I really really want to do Paramedic Science.
Any advice? I have already accepted the unconditional to them mostly due to pressure from my parents and from myself, but is there anything anyone can say to me about my situation? Thank you.

This is something you'd need to ask the admissions team at that university. However given you've accepted an offer it's most likely to late to change. Additionally, paramedic science is a popular course so places will most likely have been taken up.

So what options do you have.

1) delay going in 2025 and have another go next year. There's no guarantee you'll get a place, and you risk losing out on going to uni.

2) try and change over from nursing to paramedic science while already been down to start the nursing course.

3) stick with nursing and finish the course, then look at doing a post graduate route into paramedic science, like an MSc in advance paramedic practice. if you really want to go down that route.

Personally. I'd look at options 2 or 3, but the options are yours, do what you think is right for yourself

Thank you, you have just affirmed my thoughts on this matter. I was also thinking about doing this and also about applying again during the year - you can do that, I found out a month ago. Thanks.
