    I always thought I wanted to do accounting because there's good money in it but I prefer science however I thought accounting was a safer choice. So I put accounting in dcu as my first choice now I realise that I don't want accounting anymore and I would be much more happier doing a science related course ,I have the points for it too .what should I do?
    Is there anyway I can complete first semester of college and apply for a different course after

    Just Google "change course dcu".

    There's about 5 different links and threads on boards.ie for people in your exact situation.

    It's unlikely, but may be possible if you're be transferring internally.If attempting to transfer to a different college, I'd say your chances are slim, and will be referred to the CAO for next year. You could contact the admissions team and ask?

    Worst case scenario, Take a gap year and work for the year, It won't kill you.

    Can I change course internally on the first day of college or before it even starts

    I'd be guessing at this stage, but I can't imagine so, Unless maybe there were available places in the Science course? But that won't be likely. Only one way to find out though.
