Halls of residence

The University's halls of residence are all within a short distance of each other. Check out what each hall has to offer.

Support

We want all our students to feel happy and safe. Every hall has two final year student life rep's (SLRs) who live in, and are a point of contact for all resident students. With 15 SLRs covering an overnight on call rota and Residences Officers, their support is always available should an emergency situation ever arise. Additionally, Student Services Staff, live on-campus and Security who are available 24/7 can be contacted in an emergency.

Security

Our rural setting helps students feel less vulnerable than city living. As well as round the clock security, campus-wide CCTV, and card entry systems in every hall, living on such a close knit campus is like being part of one big Neighbourhood Watch scheme.

Socialising

You'll make good friends at ÎåÒ»³Ô¹Ï×îйÙÍø and most of these friendships begin in your hall of residence. There's always someone around to chat to, and because the majority of you will be experiencing university life for the first time you'll have lots in common. The cafes, main bar and lounge bar are always buzzing, there are lots of clubs and societies to join, sports galore, and the SU makes sure your social calendar is always full.

Convenience

Everything at ÎåÒ»³Ô¹Ï×îйÙÍø is on one attractive campus, so you're never more than five minutes' walk from any of the facilities, be it the library, lectures, your friends' halls, or the Students' Union and Student Services.

Provisions for students with disabilities

ÎåÒ»³Ô¹Ï×îйÙÍø is committed to providing an accessible and supportive learning environment for all students.

Two of our halls of residence currently have lifts for ease of access, several rooms have been built specifically to accommodate wheelchair users, and we are always keen to meet the needs of students who may require modifications in their room, such as intercom systems, flashing lights on fire alarms, and mechanical beds.

Whatever your disability and needs please feel free to contact Learner Support, where staff will be happy to discuss your individual needs.

Our guarantee

We make every effort to offer on-campus accommodation to undergraduate and Extended Foundation Degree (year 0) students in their first year of study at ÎåÒ»³Ô¹Ï×îйÙÍø. As a condition of entry into university students are usually required to accept their allocated accommodation. However, due to the high demand for on-campus accommodation, students are encouraged to apply early as possible, once they have received their individual invites via email, as rooms will be allocated on a best fit model (good mix of genders and courses, reasonable requirements and an element of first come, first served basis). Later applicants may be placed on a waiting list and/or given appropriate assistance in seeking off-campus accommodation.

All international students are entitled to on-campus accommodation for their first year of undergraduate study at ÎåÒ»³Ô¹Ï×îйÙÍø, after which assistance is available to find suitable alternative accommodation in the local area.

Every effort is made to accommodate postgraduate and exchange students on-campus, with priority given to international students, but where this is not possible we'll help you to find appropriate accommodation off-site.
