This page provides information on how to request a deferral and who can do so.

Eligibility criteria
To request a deferral of your offer to the next academic year:
- Your offer must be unconditional firm (UF).
- It must be your first deferral of this offer.
- Your deferral must have been requested before 30 September in the cycle you have applied.
- Where applicable, the evidence used to meet the English language requirement must still be valid for the next academic year.
How to request a deferral
Undergraduate offer holders can request a deferral through their applicant portal using the ‘Request Deferral’ button.
Deadline for requesting a deferral
You must have requested a deferral by 30 September in the cycle in which you have applied.
Requests received after this deadline will not be approved and applicants will need to submit a new application through UCAS for consideration of the following academic year.
We will only consider deferral requests for the following academic year. If you cannot attend in the year you have deferred to, you will need to reapply through UCAS for your desired year of entry.
Clearing applicants
Clearing offers are not eligible for deferral. We will not approve deferral requests from clearing offer holders.
