No, if you hold a deferred offer from the 2019 UCAS cycle, you will have to withdraw from that before you can enter the 2020 UCAS cycle with a fresh application.

Ok, do I just call or email the university to withdraw my application or is there another way?

I would phone UCAS and ask their advice.

You’ll usually need to arrange to have your deferred offer Uni release you, as you are in a contract with them currently.

Yes. I imagine UCAS would just tell you to contact the Uni anyway.

The OP wanted to go to a different Uni than they held their deferred offer at. You can’t transfer from a course you’ve not started yet. You have to have your deferred place withdrawn and then reapply in the current cycle.
