It depends. Changing or adding courses after submitting your application is possible in some cases, but rules vary by country and university.

- Italy: Changes are highly restricted, especially for competitive programs. You may only switch in your first year if you meet specific entry requirements and deadlines.
- Germany: You can change your program, but only during official admission periods. This usually requires a new application and is subject to seat availability.
- Austria: Course changes are allowed, but only within the general admission period and after completing any necessary entrance procedures.

These processes can be complex and may cause delays.
