Application form for Internal Transfer Applicants (Transferring within DCU)

Overview

There is no internal transfer route for new DCU entrants. This process is only open to students that have successfully completed a year at DCU.

Some registered students may find that after completing first year of their chosen programme of study, the programme is not suited to them. There are a small number of transfer places available for some DCU programmes. 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 currently registered and attending an institute can make a late application through CAO (www.cao.ie) up to 22nd July. 

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.

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.
