Transferring to an English college?

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I am actually attending a decent school in the states inthe fall but my family is moving to England next summer so I was wondering if it is possible to transfer to an English college after the first 1 or even 2 years at an American college. </p>

<p>If so, what kind of process is invovled here and which colleges are open to American transfers?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Bump? </p>

<p>Anyone?</p>

<p>Check with the colleges in question, but there are some general differences between US and UK schools that may affect your ability to transfer. First, most UK schools offer 3 year programs, and students focus on their major immediately with few "elective" courses. </p>

<p>Again, check with the individual colleges in question, but you may find your credits from the US won't easily transfer if they are more of the "general education" variety. </p>

<p>Two sites that may be of help: </p>

<p><a href="http://www.ucas.ac.uk%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.ucas.ac.uk&lt;/a> will help you learn about application procedures for UK schools, and also connect you to UK schools.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.aaicu.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.aaicu.org&lt;/a> - The Association of American International Colleges and Universities - these are colleges located abroad that have been accredited according to US standards, and follow curriculums similar to colleges located in the US. I believe that the only UK member is Richmond University (nice school by the way), but double check. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
