Suppose you are an international student who has started an undergraduate degree in the UK for the first time, and after one week, month or year, you decide it is not for you or what you expected. In that case, you can make several different options and choices.
It doesn’t matter how far into your degree you are, if you are unhappy with how you are progressing or do not enjoy any of the modules you are studying, then it is in your interest to consider changing your course.
Warning signs may include lack of motivation, skipping lectures and having nothing to say in seminars - if this sounds familiar, follow the three simple steps below and get in touch with SI-UK London today who have helped thousands of students in similar situations.
Changing Your UK University Course
1. Talk to someone
If you know you are not enjoying your course but cannot pinpoint why, try talking about it with a family member, friend or one of SI-UK’s international education counsellors. A problem shared is a problem halved, and our experts can help you understand what you are not enjoying about your course and how to find a new one.
2. Assess your options
Once you understand what you didn’t like about your course (location? modules? faculty?), think about your study options and what types of subject you are interested in.
For example, do you want to pivot from Film Studies to Film Production, two very different courses under one larger subject type? Many UK universities also allow you to transfer credits from one course to the next, so you won’t necessarily be starting from the beginning on another programme.
If you want to change university, are you happy in the city you’re currently in and want to switch institutions, or would you rather live in a different part of the UK?
3. Make your own decision
Ultimately, the decision to change courses at university is up to you. Our application experts can advise you on university rankings, where to live, tuition fee information and over 60,000 courses at all levels of UK education. However, you need to be happy about the changes you are making.

My consultant was very helpful and motivating. She helped me every step of the way, even when the deadline was so close. I feel I could not have done it without her. I'd highly recommend this service to any and all of my many friends interested.
