Managed Partnership Accommodation
This refers to self-catered accommodation in privately owned developments where the University has reserved accommodation for students. Contracts offered are over a variety of 42, 43 or 49 week periods with the possibility to extend over the summer. You can move in from September 2012.
If you are offered Managed Partnership accommodation, the room is allocated by University staff but your contract will be with the company who owns that accommodation. You will be asked for some payment in advance, such as a deposit and first payment of rent to secure the accommodation. This is standard practice in private accommodation.
Your contract information will be e-mailed to you with other important documents. These can be quite large attachments, so you should ensure that your e-mail account can receive them. You will need to print and return the required documents and the pre-payment, within the stipulated timescale. The terms of contract will differ to those of the University. This does mean that you will not be able to view and accept the offer online as you would a University-owned room. Bedding is NOT included in private accommodation, but you can purchase bedding packs upon your arrival.
