Please contact your School before requesting to change your degree. If they confirm that they approve the change you would like to make, please complete the form below.

Please note that any change resulting in a change of Term 1 modules needs to be submitted by 18/10/2024.

Please note that any change resulting in a change of Term 2 and 3 modules needs to be submitted by 31/01/2025. After this, as long as the change does not include changes to modules, this can be done up to 04/04/2025.

If your programme started in January it is likely the only change you will be able to make is to remove or include a year in industry. Please discuss this with your School.

Please note your transcript of study will show a full history of programme(s) including the change(s) you have made. 

If you do not want to continue your current course but it is past the deadline, you may wish to discuss other options with your Department, for example interrupting your current year and returning at the start of the following academic year to change degree.

If you have not yet started your first year of study, and want to change your degree programme before you enrol, please email the Admissions team.

Interruptions of study in Term Three

It’s not usually possible for you to interrupt your studies after the end of Term Two, as you’re considered to have attended all of the learning and teaching and the only requirement left is for you to complete your exams and assessments (which you cannot withdraw from at this stage). 

If you’re unable to attend any examinations or complete assessments in Term Three, please contact your School for advice. Click here for more information about the exams and assessments period.

If you have any further queries, please contact the Student Services Centre.

A withdrawal from study will permanently end your registration with the University. It's important you are aware of the implications and consider all of the options available to you before making this decision. Further information about this process and the implications of withdrawing can be found on the form.
