Is it possible to transfer to Glasgow university's law course?

I have currently started a Law LLB at a different university I'm unhappy with both the quality of teaching and the university as a whole. During my a levels I didn't get the grades needed and because of this found myself at a not so great university. So I was wondering if Glasgow university accepted second year transfers and if they do I was wondering whether they would give me an offer based of my grades for this year at university instead of solely looking at my A levels.

Hi there,
Thank you for your enquiry.

You can read our full policy on transfer requests on our website here: www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/policy/#universitytransfer

As a general rule, the University does not accept applications from UK students to transfer from another institution unless there are extenuating circumstances.
Our extenuating circumstances policy can be found here: www.gla.ac.uk/undergraduate/entryrequirements/policy/#extenuatingcircumstances

All transfer requests must be made through UCAS will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Applications from students currently studying at another Higher Education Institution must meet the current SQA Higher or A level entry requirements to be considered for an offer.

Please note that applications for transfers for September 2025 entry must be submitted by the UCAS deadline of January 29th 2025 - https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/applying-university/dates-and-deadlines-uni-applications.

I hope this is helpful. Please contact us if you have any further queries.

As above - and transferring for Law will always be tricky because different Unis cover the LLB syllabus in a different order, and this is why many Uni do not allow any Law transfers. And - many 'top' Unis with high entry requirements do not like 2nd year 'back door' entry by those who wouldn't have been made an offer for 1st year entry - for any subjects.
