Hi,
I'm new here and I am an EU citizen.
I have received an unconditional offer for a master program in a technical field 4 weeks ago from Great Britan university . After one week I've accepted the offer by mail . Since than I have no news from them except another mail answer that I'll receive another papers by mail.
Meanwhile I have received another unconditional offer , from another Great Britan university. This university was on the top of my list but I give up hope that I'll receive an offer. Now I want to accespt this new offer and refuze the initial one
What can I do in this case ?
Can I simply write an email to the first university and explain and drop the offer ? Some people said that in England there is a special regle mentation that if you accept an offer from an university no other univesity from England will accept you. I was'nt able to find that regelementation.
Is this thrue?
I don't think so, is about my money and the way a use them is mai call.
Is also true that we must respect our previous engagements.
Please advise
Thank you very much

Just write an email to the first university and tell them you wont be able to go for personal reasons. In the meantime, you accept the offer from the other university. This thing that in England no other university will make you an offer if youve already accepted another offer only applies when you apply through UCAS (mainly undergraduate courses). The application systems for graduate studies arent co-dependent and theres no way any university (even if we were talking about UoL colleges) will have access to the system of another university. Its all protected under confidentiality privileges. So, just withdraw your first acceptance and move forward with the other one. You wont get blacklisted or anything like that

If you've paid a seat deposit to the first program (i.e., the one you're going to withdraw your acceptance from), you may lose it.
I don't even think any of the programs I applied to had any idea which other programs I applied to. You can pretty much do what you want, I think.
