Do university transcripts also show incomplete degrees?

I transferred from second year geog to biochemistry and completed biochem this year :smile: (for context!)
Queen Mary to be exact.
is it typically one transcript per degree?
Not sure about QMUL specifically, but typically your final transcript will showed transferred in credit from elsewhere. How much detail about previous modules etc is up to QM.

Thank you for your reply! I was just confused because i’m applying for PG studies and i’m unsure if the fact that i studied another course beforehand would hinder me (even though it technically wouldn’t be considered a degree because i didn’t complete my final year). I doubt it but can’t be too sure

If it's a change of subject + uni I don't think it will have a huge impact. Your Geog grades might be on your QM transcript though, (or an employer mght request to look a them). i think in most cases they'll just be interested in your overall classificaiton though.

Thank you! I was studying geography for two years then i switched to biochem and graduating this year with a first and hoping to apply for post grad med! with how competitive it is, i was wondering if this would hurt my chances.. probably over thinking it

Ah, misread that bit. In that case the above still applies, the credits will definitely be listed from the first course, but whether all the modules are on there is up to QM - if I had to guess, I'd say they would be.

Coincidentally, I have helped with Grad Entry Med admissions in the past :smile:

We only looked at the overall classificaiton. It was a bit of a tickbox, either the requirement was met or not. Can't speak for everywhere though.

Okay, thank you so much. You’ve been a great help :smile:
I’ve read the entry requirements of the universities I’d like to apply to for grad med and most of them seem to put a massive emphasis on UCAT and degree classification so my messy situation about struggling to know what to do/ study a few years ago shouldn’t be something to worry about or disadvantage me :smile:
My university transcript had all my modules on it, including incomplete/from first degree and resits.

Plus those from my HNC/HND that I'd done at a FE college.
