Changing your degree programme
Changing to a programme within STA
If you wish to change your programme of study you should first discuss any proposed transfer with your Advisor. No programme changes can be made without approval.
Transfers between programmes of study require the permission of any Department or School concerned. Within the School of the Arts, the transfer must first be agreed by the admission team for the programme you wish to join, including transfers to the single honours programme of a subject you are already taking as a joint honours student. You may need to repeat all or part of a year of study in order to meet the requirements of your new programme. If the change is agreed, then you must complete a 'Change of programme' form which is available from the Registry.
You must also consult the STA Module Availability List (please note you must be logged into QM+ to access this list.)
You can contact us via AskQM or by visiting the STA Reception in Room 1.40 of the ArtsOne Building.
It may not be possible to change after the first two weeks of teaching in semester one.
Changing to a programme ouside STA
You should contact the School responsible directly, and inform us that you wish to change by contacting us via AskQM. Whether or not you can change programme will be at the discretion of the department/school that you will be joining.
