Our residences

Located less than a mile away from our two campuses and the city centre, both residences offer free transport so you'll be in easy reach when you need to get to class!

All our accommodation is self-catered with fully equipped kitchens and onsite laundry facilities, and we offer options for you to choose to live with friends, in a single-gender flat, or a single-culture flat. We also have family and couples' accommodation available if you’re coming to the University with your partner and/or children.

Our accommodation is affordable too, with prices starting at £85 a week.
