More information about this process can be found here: https://www.beds.ac.uk/student-support/change-of-circumstances/course-transfer

Please note:

• You are only able to transfer once.
• If you wish to transfer onto a professional course (such as Nursing, Teaching or Social Work) you must apply through UCAS as you cannot transfer internally within the University.
• Transfer from a Partner to UoB or vice versa is not permissible. Students will have to make a new application to admissions should they wish to do so.
• Transfer from one Partner to another Partner is also not permissible. Again students will have to make an application to admissions should they wish to do so.
• Transfer between Partner’s own campuses e.g. LSC London to LSC Birmingham or Birmingham to London is permissible. This can be done using as course transfer for a change in location.
