How to transfer to Hull
We make the process as smooth as possible, with clear guidance and support every step of the way.
Think about the best time to switch
Early in your first year? You may still be able to join Hull through Clearing and catch up.
Already completed your first year? If your previous study aligns with one of our degrees, you may be able to transfer directly into the second year.
Midway through the academic year? Transfers are possible but consider the impact on your studies, accommodation, and finances.
Credit transfers
We consider requests to transfer higher education credit gained from a course at another university as part of the course you're applying to at Hull. You may be able to transfer credit where the degree you've previously been studying matches closely enough to our own degree.
Do your research
Visit an open day or our more informal campus visits. We’ll be happy to show you around and explain what it’s like to be a student at Hull.
