Transfer with credit from another programme at Cardiff University

We are aware that your interests may change during your university career.

Two types of transfer are possible:

1. Transfer between degree subjects is possible up to the start of year two
2. Transfer into and out of the MESci schemes is anticipated and planned for

Progress to Years 2 and 3 of the MESci programme is dependent on obtaining 60% average in your Year 1 or 2 assessments.

Transfer from BSc schemes to MESci schemes is only possible at end of Year 1 or end Year 2. It requires either the attainment of a 60% year average or the probability that such a level will be reached at end Year 2.

Transfer out of MESci to the 3-year BSc schemes can take place at end of Year 1 or Year 2. Students unable to continue into year 4 for non-academic reasons will be qualified for a BSc award.

Deferred Entry

The School welcomes applications for deferred entry: the admissions criteria in force at time of application will apply to deferred entry applications.
