University Transfer FAQ

They would consider you but whether or not you can mount a serious application is another question and one only they can answer. I would imagine that you would have more chance of getting an offer for first year entry somewhere else if you are doing well this year. Ultimately it is worth you asking universities because you have nothing to lose but honestly I wouldn't have high expectations.

Best of luck

So I'm hoping to transfer to Oxford Brookes for second year and have a few questions (they've probably already been answered but don't want to trawl through the whole thread). For my personal statement shall I use the one I submitted last year and should I tweak it to mention my first year at uni? who shall I get my references from, sixth form or current uni? Also, where do you mention your first year uni in the ucas application? I tried to add it under education but it couldn't find it.

Thank You

Hi Paddy Power, doing a brief bit of research for my girlfriend I stumbled across this thread and noticed you said a few things that give us a bit of hope regarding our situation.

Emma is in her first year of a joint honours at Canterbury university where she wants to exchange to the same joint honours course at Hull university. This all seemed perfectly feasible until out of the blue (after passing most 'tests' of the transfer) she got an email notifying her that she would have to pay the full 9,000 tuition fees if she transferred to the uni in her second year.

Given the financial implications, that doesn't really seem feasible, yet you seem to think that this stance is incorrect? Sorry to be a nuisance but I'd really really appreciate it if you could let me know what you thought were the facts of the matter. Are they entitled to charge this? If so, would speaking to Student Finance be our next step? etc.

Thanks for your time,
Sam

Hi guys

So basically I've looked through a lot of transfer threads and can't seem to find anyone in a situation similar to mine.

I'm in my second year at uni and i'm really not enjoying it. I disliked it in first year and considered transferring as I don't like the university itself but I thought it would improve in second year and it hasn't.

So now I'm looking to transfer Universities to do the same course but seeing as most universities won't let me transfer straight into 3rd year, has anyone experienced/heard of anyone restarting second year at another university, despite already being half way through it elsewhere?

I've never heard of anyone transferring into 3rd year but I'm sure it's not impossible to start 2nd year elsewhere. Have you tried e-mailing another uni and seeing what they say?

Not sure whether this is the place to post these queries but no-one else seems appropriate.......

So I completed my A-Levels in 2011, having started them in 2009. One of them was an A and it has now been certificated. However, I am now thinking of re-sitting one of them to push it up to an A*. Sorry if this is a silly question, but sinceit has been certificated, would I have to re-sit only one of the A2 modules (the one with the lowest mark) or would I have to re-sit the whole A-Level again?

Also, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this....... but if you drop out of a course part way through or at the end of the first year and re-apply for entry in 2013, do you have to declare this on the UCAS form?

So I got my offer on UCAS on Friday . I have to get 60% average across all my modules but otherwise I'm sorted. Does anyone know how the uni I'm transferring to will find out if I reach this criteria? Will they e-mail me asking for academic records or contact my university themselves?

Thanks

Hey guys
So I'll be having an operation on the 15th March, and my exam (worth 50% of the grade for the module) is on the 17th of March. My doctor has told me to stay in 1 week to heal properly. This means I'll miss the exam, and I'll be letting my tutors know this. It is likely that I'll take the exam in summer period instead, without it being capped, but how would I show this on my UCAS?

Would I just fill it out normally, making no mention of this? Or do I tell them?

I have an unconditional for psychology at the university of Manchester. But I want to transfer to management or business studies. However it requires AAB whereas I got A*BBB.

I am currently at a university overseas (Manchester was my 'backup plan'). Should I tell them this, and do you think they will take my first semester grades (uni only started in january) into consideration? Or will I have had to have done a year for them to consider this?

Is there anything else I could do, eg write another personal statement, or get a reference, to send along when I email them?
Or, would they be more likely to let me transfer after results day, when people don't meet their offers?

I want to know what I can do to make sure I have the best chance of them letting me transfer, basically.

Edit: Their course requirement last year was ABB. Would this help or will they be only looking at this years requirement?

Need some general advice on what to do next in regards to transfers. I spoke to the admissions board at one of the unis i want to transfer to and they confirmed they are accepting applications through ucas for my course. would i need to use my ucas account from last year or will i have to make a new one? and also at what point do i tell my current university that i am looking to transfer out?

AFAIK it's just the module you want to resit, but check with your school/college.

Yes
