Close to campus
The majority of University-
owned accommodation is in
the city centre and within a short
walk of our campus. Other
accommodation sites are well
connected to the city and
campus via reliable, fast and
frequent public transport.
A sense of
community
Living in University accommoda-
tion provides a fantastic chance to
meet fellow students from all
over the world. You can even
meet them before you arrive
Continuous
contracts
Most University accommodation
contracts cover the whole academic
year, meaning that you don’t
need to vacate your room during
the major holidays and over the
summer. We also have flexible
payment arrangements to help
you spread the cost.
Lots of options
From traditional buildings to
modern developments and
a range of en suite options
at most residences, we have
something for everyone
including accommodation for
families, couples, single gender,
adapted, and for part-time
students.
Budget friendly
As a guide, the weekly rent
for a single room in postgraduate
University accommodation
ranges from £89.81 to £155 .19
(2016–17) depending on your
choice of room.
Added extras
included in your
rent
We take care of the ‘extras’ so
that you can concentrate on
settling in. Rent is inclusive of
utility bills (such as energy bills)
but exclusions apply so check
online for full details. We also
offer free internet connection or
