How to transfer to Brighton from another university

How to transfer universities

If you are still within your first four weeks of study it is usually straightforward to help you transfer, as long as the course still has places available.

After that we would normally need you to have completed the first 60 credits of your year (out of 120 total) before we could consider whether you could join us for the second semester.

Steps to follow

1. Contact our admissions team on 01273644644 to discuss your options.
2. Check if the course you're interested in has available places.
3. If you've completed part of your year, ensure you have your academic credits ready for review.

Eligibility criteria for transferring to Brighton

Transferring is a big step to take – but nothing to be worried about. Here’s what you should do before you call us.

1. Explain your decision to your current personal tutor or course leader and find out how you can transfer with the minimum disruption to your studies.
2. Make sure you understand the practical and financial implications of changing university – in some cases you may have an extra year of study.
3. If you are looking to transfer later in the year, ask for an official transcript of your credits so we can review it.
4. After you’ve explored all your options and you’re sure about transferring, use our course search box to find the course you are interested in and look up its entry requirements.

We consider each request individually and will do our best to find the right course for you. But before we go ahead, we also have to consider how many places there are available and how well you meet the entry requirements.

How to apply for a transfer

Once you are ready to apply to transfer university call our enquiries team on 01273 644644. They will put you in touch with the admissions team for your chosen course.

Information to have ready
