Welcome to TeX.SX!

The bibliography uses either \chapter* or \section*, depending on the class you use. You can rewrite them as explained here. However, if you are using any package such as natbib or biblatex, you can explicitly define it. Say you are using article and want to have it displayed as a subsection:

\renewcommand{\bibsection}{\subsection*{\bibname}} %natbib
\defbibheading{bibliography}[\bibname]{\subsection*{#1}} %biblatex

Since the better approach depends on the packages you are actually using, as @Aradnix commented, it would be easier to get waht you need if you provide a MWE.
