    Hi! I'm currently in second year doing Arts Joint Honours. While it was okay last year I'm really starting to dislike it this year. The airiness of arts is starting to annoy me.

    I'd really like to switch courses into Industrial Biochem or Science choice.

    How would you go about this and does it affect your maintenance grant negatively?

    I would possibly move to NUIG if it would help with the Maintenance grant staying the same, but I really do love UL and don't want to move colleges.

    If you change you'll be going back into first year. You can only get the grant and fee paid once. That is the first two years in the new course you will have to pay full fees (€7,500) with no grant. For the third and forth year you will get your fees paid for like now and receive the grant. This doesn't change if you change university.
