Thinking about deferring my place at uni

I am thinking about deferring for a year but I already have an offer from my first choice uni. Is this possible and how do I go about it?

Email admissions and ask them :smile:

Once you are sure, contact the uni and ask to defer your place. Most unis will agree to this, but they don't have to.

You need to be sure, as the uni will then try to fill your place for this year, so it may not be possible to get your place for this year back.

It's better to phone before results day as the uni will be less busy and more likely to agree.
