First, the way to change majors
Undergraduate or master's degree began to change majors.
Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended to re-apply for courses of the same level in the UK. If you are determined to change, please explain here.
1) If the new course you want to transfer is related to the previous course, then they belong to the same category, or they are deeper and more professional.
For example, changing majors between colleges and universities. For example, the College of Arts and Humanities of the University of Edinburgh has relevant instructions. Partners who change majors between colleges need to contact the school to explain their situation. And it is not allowed to change majors in the middle of the school year.
2) The two majors have nothing to do with each other, but they can support one of your ideals and ambitions.
At this time, you need to use your reasoning and emotional ability to convince the school and explain why you are so determined to change your major. But it is very likely that you need to re-read it from freshman year.
Meet any of the above conditions, pass the exam, and meet the entrance requirements of the major to be applied for. The school is also willing to help transfer. Moreover, some British universities have set a deadline for applying to change majors. After this DDL, the school has sufficient reasons to refuse the application.
From undergraduate to other master's majors.
Some students didn't realize that they didn't like this major until they finished their undergraduate studies. So when I am promoted to master's degree, I want to apply for other disciplines across disciplines, but you should know that some disciplines are limited by academic background, such as architecture, law, medicine and so on.
You can also choose a business subject that does not require an academic background.
Take the finance major as an example. Some majors need a certain professional background, while others don't need a professional background at all.
Most of the financial accounting management majors in the business schools of Bristol University and Leeds University need relevant professional backgrounds.
Finance majors such as York University, Reading University and Bath University need students with engineering or mathematics background.
Finance and trade are too extensive, and they have no professional knowledge. Choose some subdivided, cross-cutting and practical majors, such as actuarial science, insurance, asset appraisal, information management and e-commerce. Can let you occupy a favorable position in the future job search.
Business majors include: international business, marketing, human resources, management, finance and other directions, and there are many schools to choose from.
Such as Loughborough University, Durham University and Bristol University. 85+ plus 2 1 1 985 is not a problem.
Although most laws require relevant background, there are exceptions. The University of Sheffield has a two-year Master of Law degree, which is specially prepared for students who have no professional background and want to study law.
If you really can't, then go to a preparatory course (master's preparatory course).
Second, the steps to change majors
Determine career goals
Whether it is a transformation to a related major or a complete cross-industry transformation, it needs careful thinking and preparation. First of all, we should know which majors we can transfer to at present. Generally speaking, it is difficult to transfer science and engineering to literature, economics to pure liberal arts, and literature to science. Liberal arts students can transfer to business, media, education and so on. There are also many engineering students who switch to business, and the business MSc itself is a master of science.
A major with strict background requirements
A major that requires strict academic background. For example, high-tech majors such as law, architecture, medicine and some engineering require relevant experience or academic background, otherwise, even if they succeed, it will be extremely difficult to learn.
A major that does not require a background
Usually, the majors that don't need a professional background in Britain mainly include media research, business management, business marketing, English and so on. , mainly concentrated in the field of liberal arts.
Note: The above is only a general situation, depending on the requirements of the university.
Determine university goals
Business majors include: international business, marketing, human resources, management, finance and other directions. Schools have more choices and different requirements.
Third, the major that can be transferred
A master's degree in the UK with background is required.
British universities are not very technical majors, such as media studies, business management, business marketing, English and other liberal arts majors do not need professional background, and students can choose according to their own characteristics.
PS: Especially the law major at the University of Sheffield. There is a two-year master of law, which is specially prepared for students who have no professional background and want to study law.
For the popular major finance, most of the business schools of Bristol and Leeds University need related majors, while the financial majors of York University, Reading University and Bath University need students with engineering or mathematics background, which means that the school does not exclude students from other departments, but only if they are good at mathematics. Very few are finance majors that really don't need any business background, such as Leicester University and university of stirling.
Pedagogy in individual schools does not need a professional background, and students who have worked in the education industry have certain advantages in application.
What are the transferable majors?
There are many majors that liberal arts students can choose to apply for when studying in the UK.
Science and engineering majors (wide choice) can be transferred to majors: some accounting, some finance, management, business, media, translation, education and so on.
Art design majors can be transferred to other majors: finance, management, commerce, media, translation, education, advertising design, product design and so on.
The medical profession can be transferred to other professions: finance, management, business, media, translation, education, public health, nutrition, etc.
Language majors such as English can be transferred to translation, linguistics, education, management, business, some finance, media and other majors.
Business-related majors can be transferred to other majors: translation, linguistics, education, media, business administration, management, human resource management, marketing, logistics management, financial management, international business, project management, hotel management, exhibition management, etc.
Media majors can change their major direction: mass media, media management, international communication, cross-cultural communication, etc.
PS: Many schools require relevant professional background (such as media research, broadcasting, news, advertising, etc. ), but if students have relevant work experience, they can make up for the lack of academic background.
