Postgraduates

Postgraduate students are invited to apply for any self-catering option listed on this website whether or not they meet the guarantee criteria. Residences vary in style and size with some on campus and some off but no more than a 40 walk away, which allows you time and money for more enjoyable pastimes than commuting. The maps show where the on-campus accommodation is in relation to other University buildings and the location of off-campus sites.

Preferred choice of accommodation

During the application process you will be asked for your accommodation preferences.

We make every effort to allocate accommodation according to your preferred choices but due to the high demand for certain residences it may not be possible to offer you any of your preferred choices. In these circumstances we use your stated preferences as a guide to the type of accommodation you would prefer and automatically offer you alternative accommodation.

If you fall within the guarantee of accommodation as a postgraduate student, the accommodation process will begin once your course offer has been accepted, and if necessary a deposit has been paid to secure your academic place.

If you are eligible under the guarantee, and we make you an offer, it will be sent to you between July and September.  Please note that this process can take some time, and you will receive email confirmation when we have any updates for you.

Please read through the offer of accommodation carefully and make sure it is suitable for your needs (even if it does not meet your stated preferences). You do not have to accept an offer of accommodation if it is not going to be suitable for you.
