COVID-19 pandemic
You shouldn't defer your admission because of the pandemic, you can travel abroad with a student visa without any issues.
The pandemic actually makes it easier to be admitted and receive grants. Students are afraid of entering university and are deferring their education, meaning there's less competition for places.
Many universities are currently continuing work remotely, with the exception of practical work. This may differ depending on the university, look for up-to-date information on a specific university's website.
