We want you to enjoy living and studying in Plymouth, build life-long friendships and feel fully supported during your time with us. We offer a great variety of halls to choose from, that provide a safe and friendly environment for our students.
Your accommodation licence will be with the University, and our halls are provided in partnership with UPP, the UK’s leading provider of on-campus residential and academic accommodation infrastructure.
They provide and maintain the buildings while the University provides a range of support for you, including social events to create great communities, welfare support and 24/7 security to help to keep you safe.
Our halls are located on campus, or within the nearby student village - only a few minutes’ walk from both University facilities and city-centre amenities.
Applications for accommodation will open on the 1st of February 2022 for applicants joining the University this Autumn. To make an application for a place in halls, the University of Plymouth must be your first choice University.
We guarantee a place in halls – either University-managed or from accredited private providers – to all new undergraduate first-year students who make Plymouth their firm first choice and apply before the 16 June 2022.
Returning students will be able to make an application from February 2022.
Forget about cooking, food shopping and washing up this year, and enjoy the benefits of a flexible prepaid way to eat while studying at the University of Plymouth. Enjoy sustainable, locally sourced, fresh food from a range of our award-winning campus cafes with our prepaid catered halls package. Available from September 2022 to those living in University-managed accommodation, this package spans over 35 weeks of the year, providing your breakfast and a two course dinner from Monday to Friday, excluding the Christmas break and Bank Holidays.
