    Just wondering.......

    If you're doing whatever course, and a few weeks in you realise that it's not for you, can you transfer to your second choice when you have the points?

    Even if it's in another university? (I know that you can switch when it's in the same one)

    I want to put TCD as my first choice, but if it proves too challenging I may wish to go with UCD...

    Anyone know if that's permitted?

    Thanks in advance :cool:

    Nope, you can't do that.
    Almost 100% on that one.

    Most colleges allow you to switch courses internally at the beginning though.

    You can apply to transfer to any course up to a certain date (internal to most colleges normally) as long as you have the points, the entry requirements, and there's a space for you. Yes, you can even transfer to different colleges. Keep in mind that it gets a bit tricky due to the starting dates for different colleges.

    For different college transfers, contact the college you want to go to directly. But there is no bending the rules on the points situation normally.
