Can I Defer a UCAS offer for a year?

Owanea · 2012-08-10 22:03:24

Hi everyone, I'm doing the leaving cert in 2013 and plan on going to university in the UK. What I was wondering is if I get my offer and get the grades to start a course in Sept. 2013 can I defer it until Sept. 2014. I need to work for a year to make up some funds to live off when I get over. Thanks for the help.

You can defer once you've accepted an offer, if the university allows you to. It varies by college/course and it's their decision ultimately. If you know for sure before applying that you definitely want to defer for a year you can apply for 'deferred entry' which is essentially an application for a place in 2014.
