I’ve received an offer for a Bachelor in the UK starting September, but due to family reasons, can I defer it to the next intake? What is the procedure? Do I need to pay charges for deferral??
Deferring your UK undergraduate offer is usually possible, but it depends on the university and the program. Most universities allow a one-year deferral for genuine reasons, such as family circumstances, medical issues, or other personal situations. You need to formally request the deferral by contacting the admissions office and providing a brief explanation for your situation. Some universities may ask for supporting documents.
Regarding charges, many universities do not charge a fee for deferral if requested before certain deadlines, but some may require you to pay a deposit to secure your place for the next intake. It’s important to confirm directly with your university, as policies vary by institution. Keep in mind that deferring may also affect scholarships or accommodation offers, so check if these can also be carried forward.
