Not covered by the Guarantee?
European postgraduate student - whilst not covered by the guarantee of accommodation, you should still complete the online Accommodation Application, including payment of the £500 application fee. We will have a number of rooms available for you. If we are unable to offer you a room, we will make you aware of the alternative options available and refund your application fee in full.
UK postgraduate student - you should still apply for accommodation using the online Accommodation Application and request NUstudenthomes as your preferred accommodation.
