Transferring to LSTM from another institution

If you want to transfer to LSTM from another institution, our normal admissions criteria and processes will apply.  Please check the individual programme requirements listed under the programmes here.

If you are currently on a programme at another institution you should check with them regarding any internal procedures before applying to LSTM.  If you have a funding agreement, including any Student Loans, you should seek advice from your funder before applying.  

Tier 4 visas are specific to the institution you were originally registered. Overseas students on Tier 4 visas should seek advice from their institution’s International Support Team and refer to the information on the UK government website.

Transfers to taught programmes are usually only allowed if we have sufficient places available and they are completed within the first semester of study. If you are applying to transfer part-way through an academic year, you may be offered a place for the following academic year.

Transfer of Postgraduate Research Students can normally only be facilitated via LSTM’s Visiting Research Student Process. PGR candidates or supervisors seeking advice on student transfers should contact the Early Career Researcher Support team via pgr@lstmed.ac.uk

If you want to transfer from LSTM to another institution, it is your responsibility to be aware of any regulations in respect of your funding. In the first instance, you should contact mylstm@lstmed.ac.uk to discuss your plans. Tier 4 visas are specific to the institution at which you were originally registered. Overseas students on Tier 4 visas should seek advice from mylstm@lstmed.ac.uk  and refer to the information on the UK government website. 

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

RPL is a process which allows students to apply for exemption from particular entry requirements, or from some parts of a programme, by recognition of their learning from previous experiences and achievements.  For further information, including how to apply for RPL, please check the individual programme requirements and contact details listed under the programmes here.  You can also contact the admissions team here: mylstm@lstmed.ac.uk or by phone on +44 (0)151 702 9590.
