Advice and guidance on changing or leaving your university course.

Your choice of subject and/or institution might have felt like the right one at the time but now you’re thinking about changing the direction of your studies, transferring to a different institution or dropping out of university altogether.

Maybe you’ve had a change of heart career-wise or the course you’ve chosen isn’t quite what you expected. Perhaps the university you opted for isn’t the right fit or you’re unable to carry on with your studies for personal or financial reasons.

It's difficult to know whether undergraduate study is right for you until you've experienced it first-hand and more first-year students than you think face the same dilemma.

Whatever the cause in this video a current student talks you through your options and provides tips on how to navigate your way through this big decision. From whether you can join a new course at the same institution or transfer to a different university to when and how you’d repay your student loan.
