Accommodation is an important part of your university experience. Our residences will help you settle comfortably into the university environment, providing you with a home and a base for study, socialising, exercising and enjoying student life. We offer you the opportunity to live as part of a student community and to establish friendships with others who have varied interests and backgrounds. The University offers a number of lifestyle options to suit students at different stages of their university life.

Catered Halls of Residence are the ideal starting point for recent school leavers. At a Hall, students can make friends, enjoy specially organised social and sports events, and make the most of the academic and personal support provided by a dedicated team of Residential Managers and Residential Assistants.

Self-catered university-managed apartments provide an independent lifestyle for more mature students.

Home-stay and private flatting options are also available.

Applications for accommodation can be made online from the 1st of August for the following year as well as throughout the year for the current year. While there is no closing date, you are strongly encouraged to submit your application before the 1st October as the first round of offers for placement for the following year are made soon after the 1st October

Summer accommodation for students, visitors, conference delegates, school and tour groups is available in the catered Halls of Residence, The Railway Campus and self-catered flats from mid-November to mid-February. Special rates apply over this period.
