I am already at university but I would like to transfer to a different university - what do I do?

The first thing to do is speak to the new university or college to see if they will consider you.

If you have completed the first or second year of the course, you may be able to transfer onto the next year at a different university or college. This depends on whether your current course content is the same or similar to the new course content. You will need to check this with the new university or college.

If they agree to consider you, you will need to complete a new UCAS application. When completing the application, you will be asked which year of the course you are applying for - please make sure you state the correct year in this section. Otherwise, the university or college will consider you for the first year of the course.

If you want to transfer partway through an application year, please speak directly to the university or college to see if this is something they will consider.

If you want to start afresh at a new university or college in the first year, please complete a new UCAS application. You will then go through the same application process that you went through the first time you applied. You may wish to explain your reasons for reapplying in your personal statement.
