Q. How do I transfer courses?

Before making the decision to transfer course we would strongly advise that you speak with your School and, if relevant, support services at the University. In addition, there may be practical repercussions on your student funding, the fees you are due to pay the University and any visa status you may have. It is important you understand these before you make your decision.

If you haven't submitted a course transfer request but would like to transfer to a different course, it may be possible.  Information about the next steps can be found on our website - https://uniofleicester.sharepoint.com/sites/student/SitePages/Transfer-course.aspx.

If you have already submitted a course transfer request this may still be being processed, or if you think you are on the wrong course, please contact your School for an update. 

Any other queries should be directed to your School. You can find their contact details here - https://le.ac.uk/a-z/departments.
