Most postgraduates who live on campus are located in Wentworth College and if you’re not, you’ll still be a member of whichever college you live in and housed with other postgraduates too.
All postgraduates will also have access to the postgraduate only common room in Wentworth college.

All postgraduate rooms are 51 week lets, covering the academic term, Easter, Christmas and Summer vacations.
Bathroom type
In Shared accommodation, you'll have a wash basin in your room and share other bathroom facilities with your flat.
All shared bathrooms are individually lockable and cleaned Monday to Friday by our cleaning team. Toilet roll is provided for you.
In Ensuite accommodation, you'll have your own toilet, wash basin and shower in your room.
You’ll be responsible for keeping your ensuite clean, but our cleaners will perform a deep clean, usually once a term. Toilet roll is not included, so you'll need to buy your own.
