You may apply for deferred entry at the outset.

However, if you apply for the next year of entry and are made an offer, and wish to request a deferment, these will be considered on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of your department.

We appreciate that there may be circumstances outside of your control that may lead to such a request. Where this is the case, you should contact your academic department directly and you can find the contact details for your department in the 'contact us' section of the webpage for your chosen course. 

The undergraduate deferment policy (PDF) outlines general guiding principles to deferment requests and process.
