International students
If you're an international student - whether you are studying with us for a semester, a year or longer - your application for housing will be processed by Accommodation Services according to your student type.
Guarantee of accommodation
Accommodation Services offers a guarantee of University accommodation to most - but not all - new single first year students. As an international student, you should note that:
- Certain visiting and exchange students from within the EU - particularly some part-year students - are not covered by a guarantee.
- We do not give any guarantee to new single postgraduates from within the EU.
- We do not give any guarantee to couples and families.
You will find full details of the guarantee and the deadlines as they apply to you when you explore further on this site, under your student type.
