Universities switching to online education for 2020-2021. International students, will you still go for it or defer? Any advice appreciated.

Hello guys, I am an applicant for a 1-year full time Master's Programme (Int. Relations/Politics), looking to study abroad and to settle there for good after my graduation.

I got informed the other day that the University that I applied to (Dutch university, but I have also applied for a Scottish one and I have been accepted) will be switching to online teaching until January 2021, at least.

So, I really don't know what I should do here. I have been planning for this for 2 years now and I was really hoping to migrate abroad and start a new life there (obviously I need to network and find a job).

What would you do if you were me? What will you do if you are already in a position like me?

Just as an FYI for you here. Some universities simply don't allow deferrals at all double-check that if you do want to defer you actually can. Secondly, a lot of universities are now making the decision to cut off deferrals for next year to 'make it fairer' for the next academic cohort. Time is not on your side for this decision and you need to consider these things before making a decision.
