Transferring to Northumbria

Hello! I'm currently a student at Teesside University and I'm just finishing my 2nd year of Childhood and Youth Studies. I would like to transfer to Northumbria for my 3rd year so I can live closer to family in Newcastle after some things happened this year. The Northumbria course Childhood and Early years studies is very similar but the modules are a bit different. Do you think I will be able to transfer onto the 3rd year there since the courses are pretty much the same despite a few differences in modules? Or would I have to join in 2nd year? Any advice is helpful! Thanks :smile:

You need to check the website to see if the policy is there and then make an informal enquiry to admissions to see if it is a possibility. Take it from there. Transfers into 3rd year are less common and more difficult, but it is up to them.

They will look at:
Course compatibility.
Grades
Reference.
Extra currics.
Course capacity.
PS.

3rd year transfers are less likely so be sure to have mentioned why.
