Applying

Due to high demand we currently have a limited choice of postgraduate rooms left to book. If a room type does not appear when applying it is because it's fully booked. Whilst some rooms may become available again in the future, we do not know if or when this will be.  If you're eligible for our guarantee please be aware that it ends on 3 August. If you're not eligible, we may place you on a waiting list before this date in order to meet the terms of our guarantee.

Our guarantee

You're guaranteed an offer of a room in accommodation owned, managed or approved by the University if you:

• are paying overseas tuition fees
• are a new full-time student applying for a single room for the full academic year
• book accommodation and accept an unconditional course place by 12 noon (BST) on Friday 3 August 2018

You’ll also be guaranteed accommodation for each year of your course if you book by the deadline date advertised each year.

Colleges

You'll be a member of one of our nine colleges throughout your time here, living with other postgraduate students in dedicated blocks and flats.

Our colleges are more than just halls of residence. As well as social, study and catering facilities, they also offer:

• Support and guidance from a dedicated team of tutors and staff
• Activities and events that bring together students, staff and alumni
• Opportunities to meet new people and try new experiences

Although some departments are located within college buildings, you don’t need to apply for a particular college based on your course. Our campus location means that all our colleges are a short walk to our departments and teaching buildings.

Families and couples

Most of our rooms are for individual applicants, but we have some studio flats and houses available for students wishing to live with their partner and/or children. These aren't guaranteed, but we'll try our best to help you.

• Families
• Couples

PGCE students

As your course is shorter than our other postgraduate courses you have the option to apply for a 44-week let room in Halifax College, living with second and third year undergraduate students. You'll also be able to apply for a room in city centre accommodation offered by our nominated private provider Student Castle. Find more details and photos in our application system.

As part of your course, you'll have school placements which may be some distance from the University. If you wish to vacate your room you'll be liable for the rent for the room until you can find a suitable replacement tenant.

Pre-sessional students (CELT and Economics Summer School)

If you're attending a pre-sessional course in the summer you do not need to apply for summer accommodation. You'll automatically receive a room booking for the summer period when you have received an unconditional, firm offer of a course place.

International Pathway College students

If you're joining us as an International Pathway College (IPC) student, you'll live in Wentworth College which is home to postgraduate and IPC Pre-Masters students. Your accommodation includes a spacious private bedroom and ensuite bathroom and access to a shared kitchen where you can cook and socialise with your flatmates.
