Dear Recipient name

I am writing to ask if it would be possible to change my course. I am currently doing BSc. in physics and I would like to enroll on a computer course instead.

The reason that I am requesting this change is that I find physics a bit too tough. It is true that I used to get good marks in physics when I was in school and that is why I decided to do a bachelor degree course in physics. However, now that I am pursuing the course I have discovered that degree level physics is not all that easy. What's more, I believe that a computer course provides better job opportunities.

I understand that it may be difficult to change my course especially since we have almost reached mid-semester, but this is very important for me. If it would help, I would be delighted to discuss this with you in person.

Yours sincerely

Your name
