dann2707 Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hey people. Im seriously considering moving university now. Im currently doing a foundation/prep year in engineering covering the funsamentals of maths, eng principles, materials science, design and tech. So my point would be changing to huddersfield university to study Automotive Technology which is much more hands on then the cours i intend to do at Sheffield hallam. I did have this option but at the time i said i would be carrying on at sheff. Ive emailed huddersfield university and waiting in a reply. Just wondered if anyone had done this before on here and can pffer advice on where to start with regarding the awful ucas system. Thanks.

Luke Rainbird Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 From the sounds of it you're looking to finish this year then move yeah? Best bet would be to get hold of a contact email address for Huddersfield's admissions department and they should be able to put you in touch with anyone else you'd need to talk to. Explain your situation, ask if there's a certain way they'd like you to go about things, and take it from there. Provided you meet their entry requirements you shouldn't have any real issues making the switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Yeah. Going to finish this year and enter for 2011. I really hope they'll let me in their uni. I would be commuting by car and living at home. Cheers for the advice. Ill wait for their reply abd see what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Best way to do it. When I switched from Bristol to Plymouth that's how I went about it and it was SuperMegaUberEasy. None of the UCAS gash either, excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I wonder if i'm too late to apply for Sept 2011? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Shouldn't be - you'll be after the UCAS Crew but that's no biggy. Left mine later than this by far 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Ahh right. Cool cheers. You wouldn't believe how tight my fingers are crossed right now, that the reply is positive! Not sure how my student accomodation would be sorted though, as atm it's all set up for being at Sheffield Hallam and etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm not that dense. I would have understood that but the picture didn't show up on my phone hense the huh? haha Anyway. I have a reply... Dear Dan Thank you for your email below. We would consider an application for one of our Engineering degree programmes from someone who was studying an appropriate foundation course at another institution. All formal applications should be made through UCAS, and applications can be made online via the UCAS website www.ucas.com. I hope this information is helpful. Yours sincerely So i'm gonna have to fill out EVERYTHING from ucas again :/ f**ks sake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 I changed uni (for an entirely different course) and it was really easy i contacted the new uni, they gave me an interview and accepted me. I then had to apply through ucas (for reasons unknown to me, didnt really make sense seeing as they had accepted me) and they immediately took me on board from then on.
