Transferring from a different university

If you want to transfer from a different university to a course at the University of Leicester you will need to make an application. If you are interested in a transfer, please contact study@le.ac.uk.

All transfer requests will be considered individually and will be evaluated against appropriate criteria including:

  • Entry requirements for the course in question
  • The academic year that the request relates to
  • Available entry points on the course
  • Available places on the course
  • Visa status (for international students)
  • Modules and marks achieved in the former institution and their alignment with the Leicester syllabus (for requests for exemption from modules on the basis of recognition or accreditation of prior learning).

You may wish to consider whether any study that you have already completed can be taken towards a course at the University of Leicester. Any requests for accreditation of prior learning will be considered on a case-by-case basis in line with the University’s Policy on Accreditation of Prior Learning.

If you are interested in a transfer, you should also ensure that you have considered your student finance arrangements.
