I want to change my degree before i start uni

Hi, i’m currently in year 13 and applied to adult nursing for all my university’s. But i’ve recently decided i want to change to radiography and i am certain i want to change. I do ctec level3 health and social care + A level sociology.
How do i change my degree? i’ve already recieved offers, not accepted any yet. Do i email the universities directly? do i ask my teachers first? do i wait for results day? Please help!

Best to speak to your teachers and ask the unis whether you can change your course. Good luck

Please make sure this is what to do.

If so - check to make sure you'd meet the requirements for radiography. If you do, email the unis and ask. Be prepared for "no" though. They may ask you for a new personal statement, be prepared to send that to them.

Do any of the unis you have offers from offer radiography? If so, call them and ask if a swap would be possible. DR can be a competitive course at some unis and you might be asked for another interview. Have you any shadowing experience in a radiography department?

Good advice above but be aware that they just say No because they have finished interviewing and have made all available offers for this year. You are very late in asking for this sort of switch.

Hi!

I originally applied to do criminology and i changed to do criminal law after i applied, I rang the admissions/general enquiries team at LJMU so contact your uni's admission team and request a change! You should be able to if you meet the grades for the subject for switching to!

I would also contact ucas if you haven't already and double check it's okay for you to do so!

I could give you the contact info if you tell me what unis you have applied for lovely!

Hope this helps,
