Why transfer to another university?

Sometimes, life takes an unexpected turn. There are many reasons you might choose to transfer to another university – but only you know what’s right for you.

Maybe it’s not what you expected, or your interests have changed. Hull offers a wide range of courses, so you can find something that excites you.

Your current university isn't working for you

Whether it’s the campus, teaching style, or overall experience, transferring gives you the chance to find a university that supports and inspires you.

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
