Transfer decision:
Transfer decisions are based on analysing the so-called curricular differences, that is differences between the curriculum (plan of study) at the applicant's current university and ours. The comparison is based on the documents provided by the applicant, particularly thier transcript of records, plan of study, and learning outcomes for a given study programme. If there are too many curricular differences, the applicant will be declined or offered to transfer to a lower year of study than the one applied to.
