    Take a change of major course.

    Some universities in the UK have designed some transfer courses for graduates who have studied at an undergraduate level that is different from their own interests. Programmes can range from nine months to two years, depending on the content and length of the course, and can lead to a certificate, diploma or master degree. The conditions that must be met to apply for a change of major course also depend on the student's undergraduate grades, usually the undergraduate score must reach 2:

    Pre-Masters studies.

    The Pre-Masters programme is for international students who want to study at a UK university but do not have the requirements to study directly for a master's degree, either because the English language proficiency is not up to the required standard, or because there is no direct connection between the undergraduate study and the master's degree. The Pre-Masters programme can be as short as six months or as long as a year or more, depending on the individual's academic and English language skills.

    I believe we all know that many majors require students to provide relevant professional academic background in the application process. Unless you can provide relevant work experience and a portfolio to prove that you are a good fit for the program during the application process, the risk of rejection is very high. In fact, the same is true for changing majors, if you want to transfer to a major that is completely unrelated to your major, then the probability of your application will be very low.

    Of course, if you can provide sufficient materials to prove that you have the potential and learning ability to apply for the major, the school will also evaluate whether you are suitable for the major according to your academic and professional background.

    Because the technical requirements of these professions are not very strong; Therefore, as long as students can express a certain understanding and insight into the professional field, and express their desire to learn the major and future planning; Generally speaking, the approval rate of applications to change majors is very high.

    Common types of changing majors in the UK:

    1) Transferable majors in science and engineering: management, business, media, translation, education, some accounting and some finance.

    2) Transferable majors in art and design: advertising design, product design, management, business, media, translation, education and some finance majors.

    3) Medical transferable majors: public health, nutrition, management, business, media, translation, education and some finance.

    4) Transferable majors in linguistics: Translation, Linguistics, Education, Tanqing Management, Business, some Finance and Media majors.

    5) Transferable majors in business: Translation and Translation, Linguistics, Education, Media, Business Administration, Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing, Logistics Management, Financial Management, International Business, Project Management, Hotel Management, etc.

    6) Transferable majors in media: Many schools require relevant professional backgrounds, such as research, broadcasting, journalism, advertising, etc., but if students have relevant work experience, they can also make up for the lack of academic background. Transferable majors include mass media, management, international exchange, cross-cultural communication, etc.

    The above information is a general requirement, but because each school will have its own special requirements for different majors, if the university needs to know more detailed application requirements, you can check the successful cases of past applications through the study abroad volunteer reference system according to your own college background and grades, and the study abroad volunteer reference system is as follows:

    In the study abroad volunteer reference system, we will see which schools the brothers and sisters of our department have gone to, which majors they have applied for, how many language scores they have taken, which study abroad agent they have used, and so on.

    The query is as follows:

    Yes, for example, such as management majors, media majors, and teaching and education majors, many schools will accept cross-professional applications.

    Regardless of your previous undergraduate major, colleges and universities generally require you to take some relevant professional foundation courses. In this regard, it is likely that some prestigious universities have higher requirements.

    The professional environment mentioned here basically requires that you have no relevant internship experience or work experience, maybe you have participated in relevant scientific research projects and relevant research results, and maybe you have read many relevant professional books. If you meet the criteria at the same time, it will not be so difficult to apply for an interdisciplinary master's degree.

    When applying for interdisciplinary master's degree programs, it is important to pay attention to whether there are interdisciplinary master's students in the applying institutions, and it is important that "students in non-professional environments are not recommended to apply".

    To put it simply, the interdisciplinary application should be disturbed and should pay attention to these three points, each university and college has different major regulations, what conditions do you have, maybe you can apply in the official announcement of the school.

    Part of financial accounting, part of financial industry, management methods, business reception, **, Chinese translation, education, etc.

    Part of the financial industry, management methods, part of the business major, advertising plastic arts, urban planning and design master of arts, television and film shooting, language expression, education, etc.

    Some majors include Finance, Management Methods, Business Reception, Chinese Translation, Education, Applied Linguistics, etc.

    Students whose grades are very poor and cannot meet the requirements for applying immediately to British universities can apply through Sino-foreign cooperative study abroad, such as the 3+2 study abroad program, where students are currently studying and training in China for 3 years, and their test scores meet the admission requirements of British partner universities. Due to the long buffer period before studying abroad, the threshold for applying for the examination is relatively low, and students whose grades are not particularly satisfactory can also have the opportunity to enter the first-class universities in the UK.

    It is indeed difficult to apply for a cross-major study in the UK, because the cross-limb major you are applying for must at least have some commonalities with this major, and even some basic courses you have taken in order to apply successfully. However, if you have minored in the skills of two majors, you will have a certain amount of merit when applying for intermajors, so only by mastering this method can you better apply for intermajors.

    It is relatively simple to apply for intermajors in key disciplines, because it has at least some commonalities with your major, and even some basic courses you have taken, such as: Liberal Arts to Social Sciences, Linguistics to Apply for Education, Science and Engineering to Transfer, Mathematics to Data Science, Machines to Apply for Electronic Engineering and Automation, etc. Business Transfer, Economics to Finance, Finance to Accounting, etc. In the UK, it is not uncommon for international students to change majors, and it is not a difficult task.

    For example, liberal arts students are transferred to business, media, education, and so on. There are also many engineering students who switch to business, and the MSc in business itself is a master of science.
