13. Student transfer

13.1. Students may be permitted to transfer between programmes subject to approval, but there is no automatic right of transfer between programmes. The academic record of the student (i.e. the credit and marks for any relevant units and the time they have already spent studying in relation to the maximum period of study), will normally follow when transferring programme, except for students who change their programme of study and enter the first year of a non-cognate programme, in which case their academic record will not follow and the period of study is re-set.  

13.2. Changing a programme of study is subject to sufficient space being available and the applicant meeting the academic criteria and requirements for the new programme and any visa requirements, should they apply.
