Friend of mine has this situation, and doesnt know if this is possible or not for him. If you can advise or have any references, please post or PM me. Thank you.
My friend wants to study engineering and eventually become a licensed engineer in aeronautical engineering. (Insha’Allah) He would like to study for a year in England and then be able to transfer credits to the USA. Is this possible? He has a Bachelors degree in another field already, but wishes to do Bachelor’s in Engineering now.
Re: American affiliated universities in England for Engineering
a university does not have to be american affiliated to be able to transfer credits. I transferred credits from Imperial College and have friends who have done so with unis ranging from oxford and cambridge to Southbank uni and UMist.
the ability to transfer is almost the same as transferring between unis within US. if the course content is similar to the courses being taught at the new university there should not be a problem.
Considering it will be on year and he will be taking foundation courses, I dont see much of a problem transferring those credits at all.
Re: American affiliated universities in England for Engineering
Fraudia,
He has a Bachelors in Business, and now wants to do Engineering. Engineering programs in the UK are 3 years (the ones he has seen), so his concern is, if he does a year there for example, will he be able to transfer here and continue?What if they are Engineering courses? The fact that he is going to do BA again, he should be able to cut out courses just with this Business degree as well, even within the Engineering program in UK, correct?
Re: American affiliated universities in England for Engineering
it depends on which university he's transferring too...he'll have to call the program coordinators over there and ask them which courses are transferrable i don't think all of them will be...i think the obvious courses can be cut out, like the basic ones, calculus, physics, chem, etc...
Re: American affiliated universities in England for Engineering
At the good universities they are 4 year programs. For example, all of Imperial College’s engineering departments offer 4 year degrees, including aeronautical engineering.
