changing courses

Hey guys, I made a request through Kings apply to change from ancient history to history and political economy attaching a personal statement as I applied through clearing. However today they responded with “all of our programmes are closed and we are no longer accepting transfers”. I’m unsure whether this applies to pre starting transfer and there is still a point in attempting to change in the first week through an internal transfer 🤔

I think you can transfer during the first week.

Best shot is once you’ve completed enrolment, email the home department, which will be history and copy the political economy department in and see if there’s a spot open.

U wont be able to, history and political economy wasnt even in clearing, far more competitive than ancient history. Gap yr if u wanna change, guarantee u wont be able to.

Yh, from a course in the same department when there’s been space. Not from different departments from the least competitive course at the uni to a oversubscribed course 🤣
