How do I add completed first year modules to UCAS application?

I’m applying for a transfer, however I’m not sure how to add my existing university modules into my education section. This is for law, does anybody know where I’d find these?

Are you applying for a 2nd Year transfer - or a 1st year restart?
Do you meet the A level entry requirements for the new University?
Have you already contacted them about a transfer?

It’s a first year repeat. I’ve got the Scottish Highers I need for the uni.

Why are you leaving your existing Uni? Poor grades?

No, I haven’t gotten any grades back. I’m moving uni to be better able to support my family in Glasgow. My 6th year grades were also better than expected so I’m able to apply to other uni’s.

Fair enough. If you are restarting from Year 1, then you dont need to list your unit titles - just that you are at that Uni, taking that degree. Just be aware that your UCAS reference needs to come from your current Uni, and you need to check if there would be any Student Finance issues for a repeated year in the same subject. Some Unis may be a bit cagey about a repeat 1st year - so contacting them before you apply to discuss this might be worthwhile.

I’ve only gotten references from my school teachers, the deadline is on the 14th and I don’t think any of my lecturers are available. Does it strictly have to be from the university or can I get away with that?

I will be transferring as well to repeat 1st year and most of my unis requested my reference to be done from my current university
