Our accommodation guarantee
- Direct enrol (non-exchange) students are guaranteed an offer of a place in University accommodation for both September and January entry, if you apply by the deadline.
- Exchange students from institutions outside of Europe are guaranteed an offer for September entry, if you apply by the deadline. We cannot guarantee an offer for January entry but we aim to place as many students as possible in a university residence or support you in finding private accommodation.
- Exchange students from our European partners are not guaranteed an offer for September or January but are still welcome to apply. If we cannot provide a place in a University residence we will support you in finding private accommodation.
