All situations

This is not my first-choice course

This is not what you hoped for. That disappointment is reasonable, and it does not mean you failed.

What we can help with

  • What the offered programme actually contains, in plain language
  • Where it overlaps with the field you wanted, and where it does not
  • The published entry requirements of the programme you preferred
  • That an appeal window exists, and where UPU publishes its dates

What we will not decide for you

Whether this disappointment is worth a year of your life. That is yours, and it depends on things we cannot see.

Your next step

Compare the offered programme against the one you wanted, using their official requirements rather than their names.

Who to actually ask

A route that stays open

Accept, and keep the transfer and re-application routes documented. Accepting does not close them.
