Transfers

Transferring to a College of the University of London

Registering as an External student does not mean that you can automatically transfer at a later date and complete your studies at one of the Colleges of the University. To be considered, you will need to have passed syllabuses similar to those taken at the Colleges concerned and to have achieved very high marks. Competition is keen and a quota system operates; you will be competing with other applicants for a limited number of places.

You cannot usually be considered for transfer into the final year.

Transferring to another degree in the External Programme

Some External students ask to transfer to another degree in the programme. This may be because they are not enjoying their subject or finding aspects of it particularly difficult. More often, it is because they are having difficulty finding the specialist books and resources they need for that particular degree. The University advise you to check as far as possible before you register that the resources you need are available. Remember that transfer to another degree is not automatic, that you will need to have any special course-related qualifications required for that degree and that additional fees may be payable.
