Application Produre for Internal Transfer Applicants (Transferring within DCU)

Internal Transfer Procedure

DCU does not permit new first year undergraduate students to transfer to another DCU programme.  

DCU does permit a transfer to another programme of study on completion of first year. DCU students who would like to transfer to another programme must successfully complete all assessments and meet other requirments as outlined in the application guidelines. The application to transfer is a competitive process due to the limited number of places and a transfer is not guaranteed.

It is therefore advisable that students also consider reapplying through CAO to compete for a first year place  on the programme they are interested in, in the event a transfer is not successful. Applicants can through CAO (www.cao.ie).

Applicants are advised to consult with the DCU Student Advice Centre if they would like to avail of guidance in relation to their studies at DCU. The DCU Fees Office should be consulted to ascertain fee liability related to any decision. Applicants should contact ugadmissions@dcu.ie if they require advice on the application process or guidelines.

The process for applying to transfer to another programme is outlined below.

Application Guidelines

Please ensure to read the internal transfer form and guidelines in detail, as there are strict application rules and deadlines.

Please note that approval for an internal transfer is subject to the applicant meeting the programme entry requirements, the availability of places on the programme and appropriate  approval. Due to the competitive nature of transfers, applications will be assessed on a first-come-first-served basis. Applicants should continue on their current programme until they receive formal notification of the outcome of the application.
