Change Programmes

While we do not encourage postgraduate researchers to change programme, situations may arise which make a change worthwhile.

Reasons may include:

• you're progressing well at a lower level and wish to upgrade to a degree at a higher level;

• you have not met the requirements for the degree for which you are registered and are transferring to a lower degree;

• a change in personal circumstances means you need to end your programme early, but still want to receive a qualification;

• your supervisor is moving to a different department.

This is by no means an exhaustive list. Reasons for a change of programme are often unique to your situation. If you think a change of programme may be right for you, you should speak to your supervisor.
