Deferring your place

Let us know if you want to defer your year of entry for a year.

How to request a deferral

If you have an application with us but want to defer for a year and start next September, let us know and we will consider your request.

We usually allow you to defer your place 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.

Complete the form to let us know why you’re deferring. We can then take a look and get in touch shortly.
