Here in the states, degrees usually have a set of core classes everyone must take, then classes which directly relate to the degree and are required, then "electives" which may or may not be related and can be used to round out your education or bolster the one you're working on.His profile says he's in the UK. In the UK, degrees don't work like that at all. Most (if not all) classes you take are related to the main degree.
Obviously there is some variation. For instance, I took computer science, but there were classes that were heavily maths based, then some practical ones involving robotics, etc, but never anything involving English writing, or history, for instance.
@Gooders1002: What course are you taking? If there are similar courses you might be able to switch and do a bit of catch-up. Usually the university has councilors and advisors you can go to see about your options if you are struggling. The university never wants to see a student fail, so they are going to try and help get you on the right path.
I am doing business and Entrapaneurship and there is no similar course to it. Also its not what I though it would be. And TBH I hate and I might go and see the support again as I don't think this is the right path for me. Money is not an issue as long at it pays the bills I rather work in a job that made me happy then one that made me rich.
