Can I change my target course later after selecting it now?
Yes, you can change your target course after selecting it, but the process depends on your application stage and the policies of the German university.
- Before admission: It's usually straightforward to switch courses if you meet the new program's requirements and deadlines.
- After admission but before visa approval: Changing your course may require updating your visa application, which can be complex.
- After visa approval: Changing your course or university is more difficult. You are typically allowed one change within the first three semesters (18 months) to a related field. Switching to an unrelated field or after this period may require additional approval and could affect your residence permit.
If you are considering a change, contact your LeapScholar counsellor to discuss your specific situation and next steps.
