Changing to a course within Sheffield Hallam

If you want to transfer to a different course at Sheffield Hallam, you should speak to your Course/Programme Leader or your Student Support Adviser; they can be contacted via Hallam Help. You could seek to join a new course the following year or explore the possibility of a transfer to year two of a related course after successful completion of your first year. Hallam Help will guide you through these processes and provide you with a Course Transfer Form. Any transfer must be approved by the course leader of the course you wish to join. Please note however if you are wishing to transfer onto a Health related course this does not operate via the standard Course Transfer Form route but follows the UCAS process. Please contact your Student Support Adviser or Admissions department for further Information.

Changing to a course at a different institution

If you want to transfer to another institution, you can look for courses at other universities but the same issues apply. Contact their admissions office and ask about the subject you want to study. Check how it matches your current course. You might be able to use any credits you have gained at SHU to boost your points or gain advanced standing, perhaps entering a course at the next level rather than starting again from year one.

If you speak to the new university or college and they agree to consider a transfer into the second or third year of a course you will need to complete a new UCAS application. When completing the application, you will be asked which year of the course you are applying for - make sure you state the correct year in this section. If you decide to start afresh at a new university or college in the first year, you will again need to complete a new UCAS application and you will then go through the same application process that you went through the first time you applied. You may wish to explain your reasons for reapplying in your personal statement.
