How can I change my course at TUT for 2025/2026

You eagerly packed your things after accepting your offer from the university to enjoy your newfound independence there. You’ve been studying for a few weeks, but you’ve finally realized—terrifyingly—that you don’t like your course. This happens all the time so students shouldn’t feel awkward when encountering this situation and take the necessary actions.

This could happen for some reasons, and in some cases, there could be things you can do to improve the issue. It can be difficult and a major decision to change your route, therefore you should attempt to avoid doing so if at all possible.
