Coronavirus 2020 June update: You can apply for University accommodation from 12 noon on Monday 15 June 2020. Residences contract dates will align with the revised start date for the 2020/21 academic year, with Orientation Week now due to begin on September 14. International and EU students coming from countries who would have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival in the UK will be offered two weeks' free accommodation at all our halls of residence prior to the start of Orientation Week, i.e. from 31 August to 13 September.
Once you apply we’ll be in touch regarding any changes and updates to government guidance which may affect student accommodation. We will be putting in place social distancing where this is required. Please make sure your email address and contact details are up to date in OASIS.
Where your arrival is prevented and you have already signed your lease, you will be able to cancel it with 28 days notice.
We do not take a deposit, but you will be asked to make a prepayment of rent when you accept your room offer. If you cannot attend due to Coronavirus restrictions in your home country, or the UK, the prepayment will be refunded.
Your room is a great place to start your university journey.
It is a space filled with potential to meet new people, the place to run a movie marathon, learn to cook or share a pizza with your flatmates. It’s your private space where you can study or kick back at the end of a long day.
All our rooms have a bed, desk, drawers and plenty of sockets. Some are en suite, depending on what you choose.
It’s more than a room - it's your new home.
