Transferring to a better university after first year

During college I had no clue what I wanted to do at university and due to that I did 3 A-levels that are all irrelevant to what I am doing at university, and because of my lack of care for those subjects I (stupidly) coasted through college and ended with poor grades (BBB) and then when I last-second finally decided to do computer science at university the only real choice was one of the lowest ranked universities.

I have now finished first year with a average grade of 90%+ across the modules and was wondering if there are options to transfer university to a better university as my current course has very poor teaching and felt like a waste of time and money for 90% of the year and I feel that if it wasn't for my poor decisions in high school and college I could have got into a better university.

Any advice or suggestions around whether this is possible and if it is a good choice or not would be appreciated, thanks.

Have you not settled at your current university, made friends, joined some clubs? X

It’s difficult when you’re so close to the end of your course. You’d need to find a course that matches what you’ve done so to date so that you get the full teaching to meet the requirements of the degree, due to the modular system that most universities work with. My advice is probably going to be to stick with the university and course you’re currently undertaking. Reasons for this are : entering in year 3 for the final year is difficult to arrange, get accommodation, settle and understand the organisation/ structure of a new course and new university. It’s why most universities discount the first year results in overall degree classification. Perhaps to cover all grounds so you feel like your knowledge is where it should be, you could do a full time masters after your degree at a university where the teaching is recognised as being undertaken by properly qualified lecturers.
On another note, I’m finding it hard to understand why your current university is allowing other students to teach you and that you don’t have proper lecturers. It sounds like you need to contact someone high up in the university about this, perhaps the Dean of the School to get answers as to why you are not getting properly taught. I’d normally suggest your Course Director in the first instance but as they would know all the lecturers and are responsible for their deployment, it sounds like you need to go higher. I’m quite horrified that you are paying this money and not getting taught by professionals.

The word "transfer" normally refers to continuing your studies, but at a different university. For you that would mean starting second year somewhere else. Although many universities will allow this for many of their courses, they always seem to stipulate that you need to meet the A level grades that they mandate for entry to first year. In other word, they prevent people doing exactly what you're trying to do - you'd only be able to transfer to a uni which accepts BBB.
The other option would be to reapply to year 1 somewhere else, but obviously that will have the same BBB issue too.
To back-up my first point, I've just picked a uni at random (University of Bristol) and checked their transfer rules (which you can see here). They say:
"Transfers are usually only permitted if all the following conditions are met:

1. We have sufficient places available.
2. You meet the entry requirements for students entering the Bristol course at first year level. Find the entry requirements for individual courses.
3. The content of the first year of the course you have already taken closely matches our own. This ensures you are adequately prepared to continue your studies here. Find information about the content of individual courses.
4.You achieve a good Upper Second Class overall in your current first year."
Note point 2.
I think best bet is to do the best you can at whatever university you're at now, where is sounds like you're on track for a first. Alternatively, check the transfer rules for some target unis and see what they say. You will be aware, I'm sure, that Computer Science is extremely competitive so universities may not be as flexible as you would hope.

I’m a first-year Biomedical Science student at Kingston University, considering a transfer to Surrey for Year 2. I entered Kingston through Clearing with CCD from Reading uni (my firm choice where I got accepted) since it was too costly to commute there. However, last year I noticed Surrey accepted CCC in Clearing, but I didn’t call due to my D in biology in case they reject me. Now, with exams ongoing and nearing the end of my first year, I’d like to ask if I’d still be considered for transfer — especially given my borderline grade and current university performance. To mention I was one mark away from C for biology if it makes it any better🥲.

Would my A-levels still be the main factor, or could my first-year transcript support my application?
