Compare accommodation costs for the full academic year.
There are different accommodation costs for:
Rent in advance
Postgraduate applicants must pay £500 when you accept a room offer. This amount will be removed from your first rent payment.
If your room is in Chantry Court, Deans Court or Woodland Court, you may need to pay another way. These residences have different tenancy agreements because they are managed by another organisation.
If you cancel your tenancy before you arrive, your rent in advance could be refunded.
Undergraduate and scholarship applicants do not need to pay rent in advance.
Moving out fees
If your room or communal areas have been damaged or need cleaning when your tenancy ends, you may need to pay a fee.
If you cancel your tenancy early, you may need to continue paying rent.
Loans and financial support
To estimate your student loan, visit the Student Finance website.
You may be able to apply for:
- an accommodation scholarship
- a rent reduction for disabled students.
We can also offer support with money and budgeting.
