I've made changes to a course title, but the change has been rejected by UCAS. Why has this happened?
UCAS checks course titles, so that we can maintain a consistent approach on Course Search, particularly for combined courses. This helps to avoid confusing the applicants. We review the use of 'and', 'with' and '&', when they are used to link subjects together. 'And' is used for balanced combinations, eg 'Mathematics and Physics'. 'With' is used for major/minor combinations, eg 'Mathematics with Physics'. We recommend avoiding the ampersand ('&') symbol unless it used to join two subjects that are both taken as a single part of a combination, eg 'Mathematics and Physics & Applied Physics'.
