2nd year transfer back to surrey

Last year (Sep 2023-Jul 2024), i completed my first year of 'Business Management' course at University of Surrey, however i realised i did not want to pursue it as the course did not turn out to be what i thought it was, but i did pass that first year at Surrey with First class grade(77%).
Therefore, as a result i realised i actually want to study Accounting and Finance, but by the time i realised that, Surrey had closed admissions for this year (2024 entry), thus i had to enroll for an 'Accounting and Finance' course at Kingston University as that was the university that had admissions still open.
Thus, i wanted to enquire if i will be able to do a 2nd year transfer for 'Accounting and Finance' back to Surrey from Kingston. Most of my modules at Kingston seem to have similar core content to Surrey's and some of the modules included in the course at Surrey i have done them as a part of my 'Business management' course at Surrey already.
will i be able to transfer back?
This is a question that only Surrey can answer tbh. They’d need your Kingston transcript and any syllabus info.

NB. If you are SFE funded you need to check any implications there.

i funding this year at kingston myself, so sfe shouldnt be a big problem for next year hopefully as i can get entitlement for next year easily as sfe pays for 3 years right.

Not quite that straightfoward, it's duration of the new degree + 1 year, then less any previous entitlement you've taken. Potentially yeah, you'd be covered if you've self-funded some already, but something to check before you go through the rigmorale of applying.
