Student accommodation - is it worth it?

TLDRoffon

Affordability, budget options, and monthly instalments are just some of the perks of our student accommodation.

Get the most out of your student life

Living in student halls is a fantastic opportunity to connect with other students from the Faculty of Engineering and Science. It can enrich your overall student experience as you get the chance to socialise and make lifelong friends. You can also build your independence through learning vital skills such as cooking, managing your time and budgeting.

Our halls of residence provide a wide range of activities and are equipped with communal spaces that can be used for both studying and socialising.

Choose to pay monthly

Our university is one of the few that offers students the option to pay for their accommodation in monthly instalments. This is especially helpful for students who may not have the funds to pay for three months of accommodation upfront. Moreover, we provide up to £4k in financial support to eligible students facing unexpected financial difficulties or hardship. Find out more here: Scholarship and Bursaries
