Accommodation for Postgraduate students

Even though the University can’t guarantee Postgraduate students a room in one of our halls of residence, you are welcome to apply through our Halls Office and we will do our best to find you a place.

However many postgraduates prefer to live in the private sector. You may also have to look for privately owned accommodation if your application for a place in our halls of residence is unsuccessful. Information about lodgings, flats, cottages and houses can be provided by the Student Housing Office.
