anybody transferring to another uni (2nd year transfer)??

I would phone admissions as a starting point if I were you, they will be able to help you through the whole process... which universities are you interested in?

what uni in london and waht course?

Phone them, then you wont have the uncertainty of the email as to whether they have got it or not.

I'm hopefully transferring to Royal Holloway university of London next September, first thing I did was to call up the admissions department and ask whether or not they accept 2nd year tranfers. I'd definately call rather than email, that way you get an immediate definate answer and aren't left waiting for days. Good Luck

Edit: I'd also check that the modules you're covering in your first year match up to those offered at your possible transfer uni. If they don't then you wont be allowed straight into the second year. Unfortunately psych seems to be a pretty tough course to transfer within (found this out after making many phone calls on behalf of my boyfriend). I know Royal Holloway do accept psych students so maybe thats close enough to London for you?

i am transferring away from durham, but i have gone through UCAS like last year, but i have also emailed all 4 uni's i have applied to explaining to them why i want a transfer and that i would be willing to gain a transfer through getting a particular score at first year durham instead of improving my a levels if they wanted.

just be blunt with them, explain and be honest. start by introducing yourself, what uni your at, what course your doing and why you want to transfer away

then sell yourself to them

let them know why ur interested in the course

email the course leader, not ug-admissions, they usually just ignore you.. i emailed ug-admissions, course leader, school of social sciences..

and remember, if they say no, don't give up.. its how i got a place at durham in the first place.

good luck.

so, i emailed the 5 unis i applied to through ucas.

on my ucas form it says that i am plannin to resit and improve my maths a level.

however, i emailed the universities, one of which includes UCL, and said to them, i am willing to meet a certain grade in my first year in uni rather than improve a level maths if that is what they want..

is that clear?

it confuses me too tbh..

ahan..yes it is clear lol thank you.
so what did UCL say..did they say yes? I really would love to get a transfer to UCL

i wish.. the only think i've heard from them is an acknowledgement

I successfully transferred from York to Imperial (biochemistry at each, and I went straight into the second year at York. I don't have the e-mails I wrote any more, but if I was doing it again I might say something like this:

"Hello. I'm contacting you to inquire about the possibility of transferring to [destination university]. I am currently in my first year at [current university], studying [subject]. I am just making preliminary investigations at the moment, so I do not mean to express definate intent to move - but any information you can give me would be much appreciated.
My A-level results are [...] and I am expected to acheive a [...] at the end of this year.

Thanks for your time

[your name]
"

You could send something like that to the admissions tutor for your subject (find them from the website). They're usually very friendly and happy to help. We e-mailed back and forth a few times - it was about this time of year that I initiated contact - and then in the summer I went up to visit for a day and met the admissions tutor and he showed me around. It wasn't until September that I finally committed to the move, and I went in through clearing (it has to be done by UCAS in the end).

I hope that helps, good luck

.....best of luck
