So if I am currently studying Tourism management and want to change it to Logistics, will I be considered as a 1st year in logistics or a 2nd year since 1st year modules of Tourism are the same as those of logistics?
Hi there, We cannot definitively tell you whether you would be considered a 1st or 2nd year student in Logistics if you switch from Tourism Management at Nelson Mandela University.
This decision ultimately rests with the university admissions department based on their evaluation of your specific situation and academic record.
However, We can provide some information to help you understand the different possibilities:
ARGUMENTS FOR 1ST YEAR PLACEMENT:
– Different programs may have differing core modules, even if some overlap exists.
– Logistics might require specific foundational knowledge not covered in Tourism Management.
– The university might prioritize program structure and ensure consistent progression for all students.
ARGUMENTS FOR 2ND YEAR PLACEMENT:
– Significant overlap in 1st year modules across both programs could suggest sufficient foundational knowledge.
– Your existing credits could potentially be transferred, reducing your overall study time.
– Your academic performance in overlapping modules might influence the decision.
Talk to your current academic advisor, they can offer guidance based on their knowledge of both programs and university policies.
