Information for parents
Our affordable on-campus accommodation is modern, safe, and conveniently located, with prices starting from £85 per week on a first come, first served basis. You must firmly accept a conditional or unconditional course offer before applying, after which you'll receive an email with instructions to set up your university account and apply for accommodation. Once you apply, we'll email your university account with a formal offer for your hall and room, which you must accept or reject within 7 days. If you accept, you'll need to pay a £150 deposit and arrange rent payments; the deposit is refundable if you cancel more than 10 working days before your course starts.
After enrolment you will be invited to join the official Facebook group for your allocated accommodation. This is a great way to connect with people you will live with, make friends before arriving on campus and stay up to date with announcements from the Uni's accommodation team.
Applications for September entry for accommodation normally open in February.
