Will King's College London (KCL) accept my second year transfer?

Im currently a first year Economics and Business Finance (Bsc) student at Brunel University. I achieved AABB in Business Studies, Law, Economics, and English lit at AS level and BBC in Economics, Business Studies, and Law, respectively. I had a horrific slip up in my final A-Level year and so I fell short on my conditional offer to University of Leeds.

I am currently going at >90% in my essays/tests and so I'd assume I'd be predicted a 1:1 or a 2:1, if all goes well. I want to transfer as I do not like much about the uni; lecturers are lousy, content often with errors, and the employability odds in my course don't seem so bright.

For a transfer, King's College say that they can overlook entry requirements in place of a predicted grade of 2:1 and, in the case of not meeting subject requirements, similar modules can be used instead. I'd want to transfer to Economics (Bsc) or Economics & Management (Bcs).

Do you think I'd stand a chance?

Thank you!!!

Ah I see, are u considering any other universities aswell???
The only people who can give you a definitive answer is the Kings admissions team. So contact them and see if they’ll consider your current course as sufficient for a transfer application and if your university marks can outweigh missing the A level requirements.
