Hello, all.
I'm an Indian student who received an admit this year into the MSc programme in Information Security at UCL. My family's financial situation, however, makes it a little difficult for me to join this year. Also, if I stay in my current job for another year (I'm working as a software developer down here,) I'll be able to easily manage the cash needed to complete studies. As such, I'm planning to request for a deferral.
Do universities consider financial constraints a valid reason for granting deferrals? Does anyone else have any experience with this?
