We cannot guarantee an offer of accommodation but, as the application process proceeds, a limited number of rooms may become available and offers of accommodation will be sent to those meeting the necessary conditions. The Students Representative Council's Advice Centre (SRC) can offer guidance for searching in the private sector.

Family / Partner Accommodation

The University has only a limited number of flats available to students with families or partners. As a consequence, they are in high demand and cannot be guaranteed to those requesting them.
