All the accommodation is either on campus or close by, within easy walking distance of teaching buildings, so you will not waste money or time in travelling. Most study bedrooms in the Halls and flats have a telephone and IT links. It recommends that undergraduates live in Halls for the first year as it is a great way to make friends who are not on your course. In Halls of Residence, you will be provided with 3 meals a day, 7 days a week…. a bonus for those of you who have never lived away from home before!! It offers self catering accommodation to post graduates as you are then free to cook your own food and devise your schedule accordingly.

University flats

It can offer you a choice of three types of room. Standard is a single room (usually with a washbasin) with up to 12 students sharing the bathroom/shower, kitchen and lounge facilities. Enhanced rooms have a washbasin and benefit from improved communal facilities. En-suite rooms have a shower, washbasin and toilet in the room and up to eight students share the other facilities.

The study bedrooms in the flats listed below have a telephone and an IT datalink which gives you access to the internet and e-mail from your own room. There is a modest annual support charge for this connection but there is no usage charge.

Postgraduate accommodation, except for the self-contained flats at Clydesdale Court, is normally let for 39 weeks, covering term time and the Christmas and Easter vacations. However, some accommodation is available for a 50-week period at a reduced cost per week (see chart). Rooms in James Owen Court and Lafrowda may be booked in advance for the full three years and, in this case, it will hold the rent at the first-year’s rate. Please contact the Self-Catering Accommodation Office if you would like further information about either of these options.

Clydesdale Rise, Clydesdale Court and King Edward Court are normally reserved for postgraduate students. The other accommodation is let to both undergraduates and postgraduates.

The fees quoted are for the session 2002/2003 and are based on students occupying the rooms for the full period of the accommodation agreement.
