Please note that on campus self-catering halls of residence are very popular and have a limited number of places. Early application is essential for securing a room in a self-catered hall. Your choice is likely to be influenced by whether you are an undergraduate or post-graduate student, whether you have lived away from home before, whether you spouse and family are accompanying you, and whether you prefer an independent lifestyle or enjoy living in a residential community. The University has four Halls of Residence located on campus which offer approximately 1000 beds in a variety of facilities. If you move into a Hall you will be required to sign a contract committing you to remain for a semester or full year, depending on your enrolment .
Payment is made in advance.
