Faculty/ Department Transfer  Faculty Transfer refers to a transfer from one faculty to another faculty. Department Transfer refers to a transfer from one department to another department within the same faculty in which the student is enrolled. Applicants are required to go through a screening process (written exam, interview, etc.) determined by the faculty or department to which they wish to transfer.
Not all departments accept transfer students every year, so please make sure to be confirmed about it. Eligibility requirements also differ by each department. Please check the bulletin board for the schedule of procedures and other information.
