Accommodation
For the majority of students, going to university will mean living away from home for the first time. Settling in quickly and making new friends are important first steps of university life.
Unusually for a civic university, most of the accommodation is within easy walking distance of lecture theatres, libraries, laboratories, the Students’ Union and the city centre.
With 16 different residences, providing more than 5,500 study bedrooms, you can apply for one that best suits your preferences, interests and budgets. 70% of bedrooms have their own en-suite facilities and all bedrooms have University computer network connection points and wireless access.
Most students, arriving in September, are guaranteed a single occupancy place in University residences, which will be with other first year students.
We provide a supportive, friendly community with exciting events run throughout the year by our Residences Life Team.
