You may be allowed to transfer to a different programme with the permission of the Faculty and the Visa Team. The immigration rules only allow you to change your programme without leaving the UK if you meet the immigration requirements. You must seek permission from the Visa Team and the Faculty. The latest you can request to change your programme of study within the academic year is by the Friday of the second week of the semester in which they start their programme of study.
Transfers are considered on a case-by-case basis. You may initiate the process by speaking to your current Head of Faculty and your Academic Advisor to let them know you are considering a change. You must also make an appointment to see the Visa and Immigration Compliance Manager to discuss the implications for your visa and to check if you are allowed to change your proposed programme from within the UK.
Once you have discussed your proposal and you still wish to transfer programmes, you must complete the Change in Circumstances: Programme Transfer Form and submit it by email to registry@nulondon.ac.uk. Your transfer of programme, if approved, will be confirmed in writing by the Registrar. The Head of Faculty for your new programme will contact you and will advise you on how to ‘catch up’ on any missed work. If the transfer is not approved, the Registrar will write to you explaining the reasons.
