Accommodation
Where you live, and in what type of housing, play an important part in student life. For some students it is integral to their success in studies.
The university, therefore, has always aimed to provide the best possible range and standard of accommodation to meet the needs of our students. Halls of Residence are available to students at each campus - offering high-specification study bedrooms equipped to the latest standards. We can also help you find privately rented accommodation.
The university guarantees that all new students - both first-year undergraduates and direct entrants into other years - will be offered a place to live, either in a hall of residence or in university-approved housing.
The guarantee applies to any new full-time student entering at the start of the standard academic session in September and whose application is received by 17 August of that year. This guarantee does not, however, apply to students attending Partner Colleges.
Continuing Student Applications for 2012-2013
Students returning to or continuing on programmes of study in the next academic session - 2012/2013 - are invited to apply for a place in hall (either as individuals or as members of a group). The first stage of the process requires an individual application – which must be made between:
Monday 27th February and Friday 9th March 2012
Full information about the available accommodation and the application/allocation process is contained in the Continuing Student Application Kit. Information can also be obtained from the campus Accommodation Offices (see Contact Accommodation).
