I would like to transfer to/from Bournemouth University. What do I need to do?
Transferring to Bournemouth University
We welcome applications from students who have previously studied at other institutions and wish to transfer onto a BU programme. BU facilitates Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) which enables credit awarded from one institution to contribute to a BU award, subject to an application process.
Transferring from Bournemouth University
If you are considering leaving the University please discuss your plans with your Programme Leader or Programme Support Officer before submitting a form indicating your intention to withdraw. The withdrawal form is available under the Conduct and Welfare section of the Important information page.
Further details on both options can be found on our Transferring between Higher Education Institutions web page
