2021/22 applications
Please note: Due to unprecedented demand for University accommodation this year, we are suspending applications to our accommodation waiting list. We are extremely sorry that this will impact some students who are yet to book accommodation. If you have been impacted and are unable to secure accommodation with a third party provider in the city, please contact our accommodation team, who are investigating a number of alternative options. Please be aware the team are experiencing a high volume of enquiries. It could take up to 36 hours for them to respond to your query, but they will get to you with support as quickly as they can.
