Changing Degree Programme: It is recognised that your interests will develop and may change after entering the University. You may wish to change from one Degree Programme to another at the end of the first or second year, and the system is quite flexible in this respect. However, there are some restrictions depending on which units you have taken (refer to the mandatory units (Level 1) (Level 2) for any programme you may be considering). It should be noted that it is not normally possible to transfer into/or from the Joint Honours Programme of Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychology.
| Programme Directors will be available to talk about their programmes after the “What to expect from the second year” talk in Semester 2 – see section Key Dates and Deadlines for further information (Level 1) (Level 2). Watch the announcements for more details.
Note: transfers to certain programmes may be dependent upon exam performance in certain units and your attendance at the “What to expect from the second year” talk.

If you are considering changing Degree Programmes you should speak to your Personal Advisor at the earliest opportunity. You should also obtain the approval of both the ‘old’ and ‘new’ Programme Directors and complete a ‘Degree Programme Change Form’, which can either be downloaded from the Faculty intranet at https://app.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/education/studentsupport/supportforms/default.aspx or collected from the Student Support Office (G.483 Stopford). Please note that there are deadlines for completing programme changes for Year 1 students and Year 2 students see section Key Dates and Deadlines for further information (Level 1) (Level 2)).
Please note that these deadlines apply to ALL degree programme change requests INCLUDING adding an Industrial Placement year or switching to the MSci programmes.You should aim to complete your programme change as soon as possible prior to this deadline, particularly if you are transferring to/from a degree with industrial experience or an MSci programme. Programme changes will be actioned on the student system at the end of the current academic year.
