Transfer to Herts
What are my transfer options?
If you’re thinking about transferring to the University of Hertfordshire, you may be able to continue your undergraduate studies through advanced entry. Many Herts courses accept transfer students into year two or year three, depending on your previous study, how well it aligns with the course, and course availability.
Transfer to Herts from another university
Students transferring from another university are considered through our Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) process. This allows us to assess whether your prior learning is relevant and current for your chosen course at Herts.
You’ll need to meet our academic entry requirements, provide transcripts from your current or former institution, and apply through UCAS, stating your preferred year of entry. Transfers are subject to availability, but if advanced entry isn’t possible, we may still offer you a place in an earlier year or a future intake. Email our Ask Herts team to discuss your options.
Transfer between Herts courses
If you’re already studying at Herts, you may be able to transfer between courses. Depending on your circumstances, this could happen during the same academic year or at the start of the next one. Each request is reviewed individually to make sure the move supports your academic progress. Email our Ask Herts team for advice.
International students changing course
International students who want to change course or transfer within Herts will need to receive approval from the Student Immigration team. This ensures your study plans remain compliant with your visa conditions, so it’s important to seek advice before making any changes. For support and guidance, email the Student Immigration team.
Additional implications
Fees and funding
Transferring course or university can affect your tuition fees and student finance, particularly if you’re funded by the Student Loans Company (SLC). You should check how a transfer may impact your funding entitlement and seek advice as early as possible. Email our Ask Herts team for support.
Accommodation
If you live in University of Hertfordshire accommodation, changing course or transferring may affect your housing arrangements. Email our Ask Herts team early to understand your options and any implications for your accommodation contract.
Graduation
Transferring your studies may affect when you graduate, depending on how much of your previous learning can be recognised. Getting advice early will help you understand how a transfer could impact your overall study timeline. For more information email our Awards team.
