Can I defer my offer to join the programme to the following year if I receive an offer?

Applicants should apply for the intended intake, as the Admissions Committee only considers deferrals in exceptional circumstances. All deferral requests must be submitted in writing and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. If approved, you will need to pay the non-refundable €5,000 admissions fee by the deadline stated in your offer letter and complete a deferral form.

Please note that deferrals are granted only once and only for the following year's intake. Additionally, if you have been awarded a scholarship, it will not carry over to the following year, and you will not be eligible for future RSM scholarships.
