Uni going terribly - urgent advice needed! Help!

I started university a month ago and the studies are going absolutely abysmally. I began with maths and computer science and then dropped to just CS. Because of this move and additional personal factors, I missed some lectures. On top of that, I was pretty shocked by the university style of learning which is totaly indpendent and they don't really teach you a thing. As a result of all this, I have no clue what's going on and am totally behind on 3 modules. The thing is, when I sit down to catch up, I have no motivation to do so. I don't care about the content. It doesn't interest me -- and I don't know if that's because of the content itself, or because I'm so clueless that it's as if it's in Greek and that's why I'm not motivated.
The way I see it, I have two options
1. Stay in this course, bite through the difficulty and try and get a grip of what's going on. It could be that once I do (which I can and will if I put my mind to it, I'm not a total iditot) things will be slightly less bad. It could also be that I'll hate it as things will only get harder, then I'll have wasted a year and a lot of money and will start a new course next year.
2. Change course to something that's not CS and interests me more naturally. I am a deep thinker nerd kinda guy , I could do some nonsence philsophy degree which I would enjoy more and find more interesting, but I always felt it was pointless to study something useless which I can easily do (and do do) at home. I could also change to something finance-related which does kinda interest me, but again, it could also be bad.
These will definitely be easier than CS, but not necessarily more interesting IF I get the hang of CS. The main thing is motivation. This is yet another week where I'm sitting down and have no motivation to move a pen and catch up. I don't really know why, I just really really do not want to try.
PLEASE HELP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
Note: I'm 20, I did two gap years and did something extremely challenging which virtually no Brits do. I'm not afraid of challenge, I don't really know what's going on now. Also, socially there are incredible people here and that whole side of things is great, thankfully.
Advice and critcism would be much appreciated.

Hi @Nicholson1882 👋
I am sorry to hear you are feeling that way and are in such a stressful situation. My advice would be to really think about the pros and cons of your choices. It is important to do something you are interested in and if you are not interested in your subject and are genuinely not motivated due to that, it might be better to switch to something you find interesting and has potential in the future as well.
If you are interested in finance then, it is a good call. Philosophy is good too but weigh the options in the future as well before you go ahead so you dont stress later. Regarding motivation, it can happen to anyone honestly. I advise you to make a timetable and structure your time so you can still study and do your assignments and you are not behind in your modules and also schedule time to meet your lecturers or personal tutor for help with your modules and let them know what is going on so they could try and help too. It is important to make some space for your free time as well though!
Hope this helps ☺️

Thank you very much. The thing is, I don't know if I am actively uninterested in CS or it's just temporary cluelessness.
If I have no motivation at this point, is that a sign to leave?
