Deferring admission for UK master’s programs is usually only allowed in exceptional cases, like illness or major personal issues, and is not guaranteed. You’ll need to contact the university, explain your situation, and submit official documents. If your deferral isn’t approved, you may have to reapply for the next intake. Check your chosen university’s policy for details and start the process early if needed.
