Under exceptional circumstances, you may apply to defer your admission to the next academic year. 

Deferral requests are based on a change of circumstance that is outside your control and could not have been foreseen, and that will prevent you from taking up your place on the original course start date.

Deferral requests are granted or denied at the discretion of our academic departments.

How to request a deferral

You should contact the relevant admissions team outlining your circumstances and reasons for your request.

For more information about requesting a deferral, please refer to our Postgraduate deferment policy (PDF).
