Please note: It is not possible to transfer to the final year of any undergraduate course.
Transferring to another institution is a big decision. Before you consider submitting any applications for transfer, ensure that you discuss your situation with your current university such as your personal tutor, academic support services, or welfare support services. They may be able to offer advice, guidance, or options to address your circumstances.
You may also want to discuss with them the impact a transfer of institution may have on your current funding, visa or accommodation arrangements.
All transfer applications must be made through UCAS, and the normal deadlines apply. Please note: Dentistry BDS transfer applications are made directly through King's Apply. Please see the section below for specific information on transferring to Dentistry.
As general guidance, applications for transfer into the second year will only be considered if you meet all of the requirements below:
You have met the standard first year entry requirements for the course (such as A-levels or equivalent)
You have studied the same or very similar modules to those on the first year of the course here at King’s in your first year. Please take some time to look at the course structure on our course webpages. The content of your current degree needs to be very similar, so please satisfy yourself of your suitability before submitting an application to transfer.
You have achieved or are achieving a 2:1/high 2:1 standard in your first year of your studies.
Students completing some overseas degrees will be required to have completed a minimum of two years of study before transferring to King’s College London.
Please note that should there be more qualified applicants than spaces, the selection process will be competitive.
If your application is successful you will receive a formal offer through UCAS which you can choose to accept or not. Think carefully about the following, and contact Admissions before accepting any offer if you have any questions:
Take note of the regulations regarding transfer on to a course at King’s from studies elsewhere, including how your final degree classification will be calculated. These can be found in the Admissions section of King’s Academic Manual.
The Student Visa for study in the UK is specific to each university. Therefore, if you require a Student Visa it is likely that you will need to make a new visa application. In these cases King’s will provide you with a new CAS number if your transfer application is successful.
You should also consider how a transfer might affect your funding or scholarship eligibility: our Funding Office can assist you with these matters.
If you currently have a disability support plan in place, or think you may need advice or guidance on the support available if you transfer your studies to King's, see our guidance for Disabled applicants.
