Returning Next Year

Find out what you need to do if you want to return to our accommodation next year.

We have a limited number of rooms available for eligible full-year registered students who currently live with us and will be studying at the University for the next academic year, 2024-25. If you are eligible, we will contact you to provide further information on how to apply. We generally contact students before the end of March. Find out more about eligibility criteria below.

If you do not match the criteria, please don't worry. While we won't be able to accept your application for University accommodation, the city offers a wide variety of private student accommodation, from purpose-built flats, to student house shares.

Students with medical needs

If you have a medical need which impacts where you live, you may be eligible to return to University accommodation. We have now contacted students that may be eligible for the offer to return for the next academic year, 2024-25.

If you have not been contacted and feel your medical condition should be taken into consideration to return into university accommodation, you can contact us at accommodation.medical@newcastle.ac.uk.

International undergraduate students

2022-23 was the last cohort of students who were eligible to stay in university-owned accommodation for the full duration of their undergraduate degree. To ensure we can continue to meet the terms of our guarantee to new students we are no longer able to offer this to students arriving from 2023-24. We have now contacted students that are eligible for the offer to return for the next academic year, 2024-25.

Postgraduate students

To fulfil our New Student Guarantee, we are unfortunately not able to offer our current residents accommodation for the next academic year. For help with your search for private accommodation, visit NUSU Housing Advice. (Updated Feb 2024)

Couples and families

If you are continuing your studies into the 2024-25 academic year and remaining in Newcastle, you are advised to look in the private sector for accommodation.  

Our family and couples’ accommodation is limited, and unfortunately, we are not able to offer current students accommodation for the next academic year.
