reapplying with an offer

I applied to the university of Southampton to study languages in 2025, and will be taking a gap year from september. They accepted me but I am unsure if I actually want to study there or do the course (thank god for the gap year lol). My question is, can I reapply during my gap year whilst still retaining my offer, or do I have to reject it and start a new application??

As UCAS say here:

"If you accept a deferred entry place for 2025 you cannot then reapply in the next application cycle while holding this place. You would need to completely withdraw your application before you reapply. If you want to do this, please contact us for advice."

As above, and you can reapply to your previous Unis if you want to - Unis don't mind this and it wouldnt disadvantage your application.
