Unfortunately did not get the grades I required for my course. Has anyone started a course and then changed uni if it wasn’t right by applying through UCAS

I'm sorry that you didn't get the course you hoped for. Have you found anything else in Clearing that appeals to you?
Think carefully about starting a course you don't think you will finish. Although it is possible to change unis, it will use up some of your funding entitlement and you might not be able to fully fund a new course. Would a gap year and retakes be a better option for you?
