How do I change to a different programme?

Please note the steps below you should follow if wishing to change programme:

1. Seek academic advice – speak to your current Programme Leader or Academic Tutor Ensure you meet the entry requirements of the new course and speak to the new Programme Leader

2. Seek funding advice – email:studentfunding@dmu.ac.uk if you need to study an additional year International students should seek advice from immigrationcompliance@dmu.ac.uk.

3. Check the timeline – Please be aware of the timeline as outlined in the Academic Regulations. You may be required to interrupt your studies (leave of absence) or complete your current programme before changing programme

4. Apply online – submit your request to change programme via the My Student Record Changes Requests tile on MyDMU

5. Await a decision – Your application to change programme will be sent to the Accepting Programme Leader (and Immigration Compliance for international students). Once a decision has been confirmed you will be notified via email. Please be aware of any conditions. Please contact the Accepting Programme Leader if you do not receive a response within 4 days. The Student Advice Centre will contact the Programme Leader/Immigration Compliance if no response is received.

6. International students only: both the Accepting Programme Leader and Immigration Compliance must approve– if a new visa or CAS is required you may need to reapply to change programme at a later date.
