Can I apply for accommodation without an unconditional offer?
Yes, you can apply with a conditional offer. We will hold your application on file until your offer progresses to unconditional. If you are an international applicant, we will process your application at conditional.
When will I find out about my accommodation application?
If your offer of a place to study is unconditional, we hope to start sending out accommodation offers in November. If your offer is conditional, we will hold your accommodation application on file until your offer progresses to unconditional, unless you are an international applicant and we will then start sending out offers from November.
How do accommodation contracts work?
Once you receive an offer of accommodation you have ten days in which to pay the deposit of £100 and set up a payment plan or pay in full.
The payment plan allows you to pay termly with the due dates being January and April. No payments except the deposit are taken before this date.
When will I move in?
Students are due to move in between Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 January 2023.
How long are the accommodation contracts?
We offer various contract lengths to meet your needs. You can apply for accommodation to live on campus for 42 weeks until July 2023 or 50 weeks until September 2023. Most students will choose the 42-week option as this will give you plenty of time to complete your studies. If you are an international student, a student on an extended course, or want to stay on campus over the summer then apply for a 50-week contract. If you are an exchange student studying for only one semester you will be able to choose an 18-week contract.
Is accommodation guaranteed?
Yes, as long as you meet the criteria for eligibility. The guarantee is explained fully here.
Can I meet/get to know my flatmates before start of term?
You can join our Facebook groups to get to know your new uni friends and flatmates before you arrive.
What do I need to bring?
Once you have accepted your offer of accommodation, you‘ll need to complete our induction process which includes information on items you might like to bring with you.
For students moving onto our de Havilland campus, you will be able to bring your car to drop your belongings at your accommodation. But you cannot keep a car on the de Havilland campus during term time.
If you have a difficulty or disability which means that you may need more people to help you, please contact us.
