Is it possible to defer my application and if so how do I go about this?
If you have been offered a place on a programme at UCL but wish to defer your place for a year you must submit this request to UCL Admissions in writing or by email and you do not have to apply again. The request is then forwarded to the academic unit to which you have applied for their consideration. A decision is usually made within four weeks and you will again be notified by post. If successful, a new offer letter for the following year will be sent to you and also viewable via the UCL portal.
