Accommodation

On-campus accommodation

Our campus is a safe and secure place to live, with a supportive, sociable atmosphere that will help you feel at home from day one. International students are guaranteed a room if they complete and submit all the relevant paperwork and request forms by 1st August.

Because all our accommodation is based on one campus, everything you need for studying and leisure time is close by. Teaching and learning facilities, the University Library, Sporting Edge, Student’s Union, the Rose Theatre, University Shop and catering outlets are all within a few minutes walk.

We have five separate areas of accommodation with over 1,000 students living on campus. Around 300 of these live in catered accommodation, with the other 700 self-catering, while over 500 rooms have en-suite facilities.

We price our accommodation to suit a range of budgets and our two new developments – Founders Court and Graduates Court – offer the latest in contemporary living.
