What can I get?
If you are planning a transfer that will involve starting a new course or changing your mode of study during the 2012 / 13 academic year, it is especially important that you seek advice as there will be major changes to the level of tuition fees and the funding package and you will need to know which set of regulations you will fall under for fees and funding purposes.
