Changing both your course and start date

Let us know if you want to change which degree you’ll study at Sussex as well as when you’ll start.

How to change both your course and start date

If you have an application with us but want to change both the course you’ll study and your start date, you can let us know using the form below and we will consider your request.

To change your course you need to tell us exactly which course you wish to change on to. See our online prospectus for details of all our undergraduate courses.

There are two options for changing your start date:

Deferring your place for a year

Let us know if you have an application with us but want to defer your place for a year.

We usually allow you to defer your place for a year once. If you have previously deferred and want to defer again, you should withdraw your place at Sussex and re-apply through UCAS when you are ready to join us.

Starting at Sussex sooner

If you made a deferred application, but would like to start at Sussex this September, you can let us know. This request will depend on if there are spaces available for your chosen course.
