Last year, more than 28,000 school-leavers requested a deferment of their higher education place in order to take a gap year. The new edition of this guide was published at the end of August to help young people and those that advise them to consider the rewards and risks of taking a gap year. It contains extensive information on planning and preparation, as well as listings of specialist gap year bodies.
