How do you transfer uni after first year?

Let’s say u didn’t get the grades u didn’t want and end up going to a uni that u don’t like much, then during that year u retake A levels, can u apply to a new uni through clearing even when u r already in a uni. How would the whole process go? Would u even get a place?

Do not ever start a Uni course you dont actually want to do.
You cannot assume that you will be able to switch to 2nd year at another Uni - and certainly not one asking for higher grades - and doing A levels alongside degree study is, frankly, bonkers.

If you dont get the grades, then resit your A levels, apply in the autumn for 5 new choices - and work your socks off to get the grades needed for the Uni/course you do actually want to do.

Hi, my name is Abby and I am a student ambassador at Bishop Grosseteste University in Lincoln. Never accept a place at a university that you are not 100% set on just because the place is open. It is always worth exploring other options: clearing, apprenticeships, or resitting your A Level exams in the autumn. There are so many routes out there!

Hope this helps and good luck with everything!
