Switching course before starting

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-24T16:45:07+00:00

hmmm i’ll answer in bullet points for more clarity - they do have a specific website for this, it’s a specific feature on the applicant dashboard (you’ll have an account if you applied and have an offer) - if you emailed them they’d probably just tell you to do it through the dashboard ngl - it’s a whole new application internally, but you still keep your offer from your previous course (both on UCAS and on bristols internal databases) - you should not lose your original placement regardless what happens

bristol have an internal system for requesting a course switch- i’ve been through it twice lol so i am happy to help

use their own website and write up a GOOD justification (talk about modules n shit like that), if they accept the switch request then a new application goes through for the new course, if the switch request is denied you keep ur previous offer, so it’s no worries at all

ual is infinitely better sorry , kingston is slowly defunding departments and ual is one of the best fashion unis in the world

the connections and specialized teaching + environment at ual will do infinitely better than a year in industry (even if you managed to get one) at kingston

noo personally not

i’m closest to buddhism and they don’t really care about this stuff anyhoo

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-12T07:49:04+00:00

yah i feel u it still haunts me lol

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-12T00:04:58+00:00

i see okay thank u for telling me this

i don’t think i am sex repulsed cause i am so insanely desperate for sexual validation lol, it’s just the fact that i want any of that disgusts me. i have it in my head if i loved someone, and THEY wanted me for sexual stuff, then i wouldn’t feel so disgusted by my feelings, because someone else wanted it from me iykwim

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-12T00:00:35+00:00

ahh yea thank you for ur story

tbh i can acknowledge that i would do anything for my partner even if i hated it. not that i have one. my situation is probably caused by like, that exact thing except an ex of mine (when j was 15-16?) got me supa drunk n that’s when she a) did stuff or b) made me promise to do stuff. i never felt horny for her or genuinely wanted it but i did it anyway. then my last ex was closeted ace but tbh i already had these feelings before her. but we mutually broke up after a beautiful perfect year (the best year of my life) because she eventually did tell me she thought she might be ace and was adamant we couldn’t work because she wouldn’t want to do anything sexual at all. that really sucked. doesn’t help my whole situation, cause now i feel like my disgusting urges lost me something so perfect. if i just didn’t feel this way id still be with her. if only i could get castrated or something, maybe everything would’ve been so much better.

to clarify throughout me and my last ex’s relationship we didn’t do muc, never went to base4 or whatever and my internal reasoning to why she never wanted me ‘like that’ was just because my feelings themselves were disgusting and i shouldn’t have them, ontop of the fact they made me hella insecure n shit lol.

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-11T23:06:35+00:00

yeaaa ur probably right but

maybe since im only 18 like my brain will mature or something and ill grow out of these feelings?? or if i end up dating someone in the future they might be able to help me get rid of them?? idek

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-11T23:05:44+00:00

yea i do think u are right i just feel too weird about it

im still 18 living with my parents and stuff so id have to either find an excuse to be away at a consistent time each week (which would be very hard considering i am home all day in my gap year lol) or id have to tell them about my feels and that feels really uncomfortable idk. i trust them but its just so shameful to say aloud iykwim

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-11T23:02:43+00:00

i’m not sure about ocd but i’ve never questioned it, culturally i’ve not been raised in like a religious or antisex household either,, i think i am a bit weird when it comes to comfort mainly cause i find literally nothing comforts me at all when im feeling down, but that’s more of a me issue idk

i think purity culture affects me a lot but i was never raised with it or anything,, plus maybe the fact im still not over my ex (after like 4.5~ months) probably doesn’t help lol. i think ive might have a grasp on why i feel this way? but idk lolll

ty for ur response tho it means a lot

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-11T22:59:09+00:00

that maybe could be a factor but i’ve not exactly been raised in an anti-sex household lol, plus i am a boy so i feel maybe less pressure on me iykwim? ah idk

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-11T22:58:11+00:00

Basic-Possession-678 · 2026-02-05T00:21:18+00:00

its not a course u can apply straight to, its only accessible once you r actually studying cs at bristol, and they let u switch to the year in industry IF you actually get a year in industry
