Can you transfer from an USA college to an British college?

Question

I was thinking of transfering after 2 years to a college in England.

Will they count the 2 years i did in America ?

Thank you :)

Answer 1

You may get a little credit, but universities are structured completely differently in the two countries, so you wouldn't get anywhere near two years of credit.  In the UK, students going to a university study a "course" or subject matter, unlike in the US, where students usually take two years of "general education" before beginning their major studies.  That means that any general education classes you have taken will not count, and you will probably only have taken a few classes in your major which may be counted.  Most schools in the US won't let you take just the classes in your major, so you would only transfer a few classes at most.
