In this research, it is aimed to reveal the reasons for horizontal transfer in music departments and the problems experienced in this process. Case study design, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in the research. The study group for the research consists of 25 students who came to Dicle University State Conservatory with a horizontal transfer. The data of the research was obtained from face-to-face interviews conducted with a semi-structured interview form. At the end of the research, it was seen that the reasons for the students to transfer were mostly due to being with their families, being from Diyarbakır, living more comfortably financially, getting a better education and being close to their hometowns. It was observed that the most common problems experienced by students were related to courses and course exemptions. In addition, it was also revealed that they encountered many problems such as bad academician attitudes, ignorance and indifference to the office of student affairs, and housing. In addition, students made some suggestions regarding the transfer process and its implementation, stating that the transfer process should be reorganised and problems should be eliminated.
