Second year uni transfer

So I’m currently studying psychology at UEA, but I’m not too happy with the uni and I’d like to transfer after the second year to a better uni, I achieved BCC at a level so I’m not too sure.

Not very likely, as Psych is a competitive subject and Unis will look at your A level grades and are usually not interested in letting anyone into their 2nd year that they wouldn't have let into their first year. You can email Unis and ask, but don't hold your breath.

I would consider Nottingham, Surrey, Liverpool and Exeter. They are more lenient with entry grades. I would call these universities, ask about second year entry and submit your grades. Ask for email confirmation if they said they will consider you as well as name and job title. I am also in this process different course and I have submitted my UCAS application with CCC grades. People like to make transfers more difficult then are, most universities don’t do second year transfers but as long as they do offer and your modules and grades are somewhat high they will accept you.

same im in this process too for a different course, however i am extremely stressed as the university i want to transfer to does 8 modules, while my current uni only does 4 for first year. however i have some past learning to match for the extra 2 modules, but i still only cover like 6 modules out of 8 that the uni i want to transfer to does(i think, this is all from my own analysis, i have yet to send in the ucas application) . now i feel constantly on edge whether that uni would give me 2nd year entry. may we all get the result we want.
