Graduate Accommodation


speed york map

All University accommodation is situated on or within walking distance of the campus and is conveniently located for the centre of York. Wentworth College is the Graduate College at the University but all other Colleges with the exception of Vanbrugh College have some accommodation for postgraduate and undergraduate students.

Full time postgraduate students from outside the British Isles and EU are currently provided with accommodation for the duration of their full-time course, provided they apply by the due dates. In all cases, University accommodation can be allocated only after applicants have met any conditions set out in their offer letter from the Graduate Schools Office and after they have firmly accepted a place on the course.

Students from within the British Isles and EU normally live in private sector accommodation unless they provide documentary evidence from an appropriate professional that there is a medical or other reason why they should be given priority for University accommodation. The University supports those applying for private sector accommodation in various ways, including organising Meet a Housemate events (usually in September) and making available a Private Sector Accommodation list. 

If you have any particular worries or queries about accommodation, do not hesitate to get in touch with the Accommodation Office at accommodation@york.ac.uk - the staff will be only too pleased to help you.
