The first thing to do before applying to transfer is to refer to our list of programmes and look at how the classes taken by students here in their first year compare to those you have taken. The course catalogue also provides information on individual classes within each subject.

If you have taken classes that are broadly similar those at level 1 (first year) in your chosen subject, then you can apply to transfer into level 2 of that programme. The classes don’t need to be identical, but should be relatively similar.

Your application will then assessed by the relevant Admissions Selector, who will determine the stage of the degree programme  you can transfer into, based on your previous studies (e.g. Level 1 freshman, Level 2 sophomore, Level 3 junior etc.).
