In ensuring a smooth transition from your current institute to the University of Kent, there are basically two routes that will be applicable to your situation; lets take a quick look at them.
The intra-university or programme transfer refers to the transfer of a student, already enrolled in a University of Kent programme at any participating college or university in the world, wishing to switch their studies towards another programme within the academic administration of the University of Kent. This will be essentially an internal transfer, and will be between disciplines or programmes.
The inter-university transfer refers to the transfer of a student from another university to the UoK, allowing the student to continue their studies and academic activities at UoK, in the same academic programme or discipline. This will allow the student to leverage the world-class faculty and academics that UoK has to further advance their understanding of the core material. Both of these transfer options are available for students studying at university level.

Students in Beaconhouse International College can leverage this amazing opportunity to further their education in a world-renowned institution like the University of Kent. Here are some pertinent details that should be kept in mind when making the decision of moving from Beaconhouse International College or any other institute to the University of Kent.
Students can apply to transfer to an entirely new or different programme within UoK, but interchangeability needs to be proven by the student. Which means that the programme they have been previously studying should be related to their future aspirations of study and their choice of transfer programme. It is important to note that the new course must be at degree level or above and not at a lower level than their current course.
UoK has its own credit framework that applies the same rules for credit transfer whether transferring between varsities, or between programmes at the UoK.
It may be possible to transfer into the second year of a Kent course, but this depends on the topics covered in the first year. Transferring into the third year is generally not possible, and there are restrictions on transferring into the second year of the Kent.
