Dealing with your doubts about your studies could lead to the desire to change courses, replace one subject with another or even start studying at a different university. A change of direction of this kind should not only be well considered, but also carefully organized. You can find important tips here:
Deciding on a new degree program that suits you (well) takes time. Take this time to find out the reasons for your dissatisfaction with your previous degree program. This will allow you to identify the criteria that are important to you in your studies and that will guide you in your second decision. In this way, you will create a solid basis for a well-founded second study decision.
After analyzing your situation, a well-founded second study decision is also supported by finding out about the content and requirements of the new degree course or the new subject. You know from your experience with the old degree course what you need to look out for in a new degree course!

In the case of some degree course changes, it is possible for credits from the old degree course to be credited to the new degree course if the content of the two degree courses is the same. For this, an application for recognition of examination achievements must be submitted to the responsible examination board of the respective department. The academic advisors can provide support with this. Please allow sufficient time for the recognition process, as the respective examination board usually only meets on certain dates.
