Location
On-campus accommodation is convenient as you’re close to University buildings and facilities. Most postgraduates living on campus are located in Wentworth College and if you’re not, you’ll still be a member of whichever college you live in. Your accommodation contract is with the University.
Off campus accommodation is located in the city centre. We’ve teamed up with Student Castle to provide University-approved private accommodation. Even though you’ll be living in the city, you’ll still be a member of Wentworth College
If you choose Student Castle, you’ll be invited to apply directly to and enter into an agreement with Student Castle. Student Castle’s terms and conditions are different from ours, so make sure you read them.

Let length
51-week lets
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.
