- We allocate postgraduate accommodation from August. If you are allocated accommodation, you will receive an email asking you to log-in to the website and review the offer made to you online

- We make every effort to allocate accommodation according to your preferred choice but no guarantees can be given. When this is not possible we automatically offer you the closest alternative accommodation available.
Later applicants may have to be offered a shared room or given details of private sector accommodation

- Please read through all the information carefully, including the Campus Life terms and conditions, as once you accept the offer it creates a legally binding contract. You will need to accept the offer and make the pre-payment of £400 by the reply date or risk your room being re-allocated. If you reject an offer of accommodation, we will be unable to make you another offer unless there are special circumstances of which we were unaware at the time of allocation.
