    You do realise all this information is available on the UL website? Myself and most of the people on the forum don't mind being helpful to people as long they've shown a bit of initiative themselves and tried to find an answer before asking a question.

    A yes "but" would be a more accuarate answer to the question.

    From the bottom of page 34 of the Student Handbook you will find information on transferring between courses.

    In addition to the above it is got to contact the course director (the contact person at the bottom of the perspectus page), to find out more about the course and the likelihood of that you will be able to transfer (although in the case the first year of the programmes are the same it shouldn't be a problem.)

    In cases where you just don't like the course and you are unsure of what course or opitions are available to you contact the Careers Service (they are competent) and they have information and 'profiling' test to give you a better idea.
