Chaning discipline in between degrees - possible?

[Naffa]

I was just wondering if it's feasible or possible to change discipline, after completing my political science BA to a natural science? And if so, what is the best way to go about doing so?

From what I can gather, for obvious reasons, universities only accept postgraduate students onto masters programs, if they have a decent degree in a relevant subject. Is there any real way that I could achieve the above, given this reality? By that I mean, I mean gaining enough knowledge to be able to cope with the studying (luckily, studying is something I love to do), and making myself into a candidate a decent university would be prepared to accept onto their program.

Thanks for any advice offered.

I guess you learnt the hard way about the disadvantages of doing a social science .

I really enjoy it, and am incredibly passionate, but I can't help but feel most of what I'm learning isn't particularly valuable knowledge. To me, at any rate.

So, I think the answer you're looking for is a 'yes'.

That would be great, but (much to my regret) I would have to concede that I am not exceptional. Producing a body of work likely to impress a university enough to let me onto a postgraduate course without any relevant qualification would probably be beyond me.

That's a good idea, thank you.
