Internal Transfers

    Internal Transfer options are available to continuing undergraduate students from Maynooth University and St. Patrick’s Pontifical University, who wish to transfer to another programme in Year 2 or above in Maynooth University. Internal transfers normally have two forms: 1. Automatic Transfers and, 2. Application to Transfer.

    1. Automatic Transfers will continue as before. Such transfers are available to undergraduate students who are eligible for transfer into Year 2 or above of a different programme based on agreed published criteria. Application to transfer is not required. If the student meets the criteria, all possible options will be made available to them when they register online at the beginning of the new academic year. It will be up to the student which option they choose.
    2. Application to Transfer applies to undergraduate students who are not eligible for an automatic transfer route but may apply for an internal transfer based on exams results and subjects/modules already passed. These types of transfers are subject to space availability and student results. They will require Head of Department recommendation, and the Curriculum Office’s approval in conjunction with the Registry Transfer Committee where necessary. The Registry Transfer Committee is comprised of Registry staff from the Student Records Office, Examinations Office and Curriculum Office.  

    All queries related to internal transfers are welcome, and the Curriculum Office can be contacted by email at [email protected]. Please use your Maynooth University email and include your student number in all correspondance. Depending on the time of year, we aim to respond to your query within 3 working days.
