You can list your preferences on the application form. We aim to give you your first choice where possible, but this can't always be guaranteed.
Allocation of halls will be assessed according date of application submitted. Our allocation process will commence from June 2024 and will be ongoing until all rooms have been booked at each hall.
Please note, we are not always able to assist everyone who applies for accommodation with us therefore we would also recommend you view other housing option in the private housing market.
Making your application
Once you have firmly accepted your course offer you will be sent an email with a link to the accommodation application form.
Your course offer can be conditional or unconditional, but if you're holding a conditional offer you should read the cancellation policy for the hall you have been nominated for, in the event you do not meet the entry requirements of the course.
It can take a few working days for your course application record to be updated to show your firm acceptance. Once it has been updated you will be sent the invitation email automatically. If you do not receive this email you should contact the accommodation team.
There's no deadline for postgraduate accommodation applications, but as rooms are limited an early application is recommended.
