This course does not match the career I want
Holding both of these at once — a real offer and a different ambition — is uncomfortable, and it is a normal place to be.
What we can help with
- Where the two genuinely overlap, and where they do not
- The bridge fields that sit between them
- The transfer policy question to ask in writing, in week one
- The appeal window, if it is still open
What we will not decide for you
Whether to take this route or hold out for the other. We will not tell you the offered course is a good substitute, and we will not tell you your ambition is unrealistic.
Your next step
Ask the faculty, in writing, what the programme transfer policy is and what grades it needs. Ask in week one, while everything is still changeable.
Who to actually ask
- Your faculty's academic advisor
- UPU MOHE, for the appeal window
A route that stays open
One year is not wasted. Credits often transfer, and most graduates work outside the field of their first degree anyway.
