Booking accommodation for term time 

Term dates for your course may affect the contract length you would like for your accommodation, so do check if your course has non-standard dates. You can find out more information about the specific length of your chosen course by speaking to your Faculty Administration Office. Telephone +44 1752 600600 

Halls and available contract lengths

Our standard term dates equate to a 40 week accommodation contract. Our contract lengths vary, with a minimum of 40 weeks, but we also have 41, 43, 44 and 51 week options available so do please check with your Faculty Admin Office before booking your accommodation.

You can match your course duration with our available halls of residence contract lengths detailed on our accommodation pages. Please note not all contract lengths are available for all halls.
