Exchange Students Accommodation

Accommodation for Visiting/Exchange Students 2010 - 2011

Application Procedure/ Guidance

We regret that the University of Bath is not able to offer the opportunity to live in halls of residence to all students. The Study Abroad Office will inform Exchange students about their accommodation status when they have been nominated by their home institutions. Visiting students will be informed after they submit their Visiting student application. We regret that during September, October and November it is very difficult for us to offer University Accommodation to Visiting Postgraduate Scholars - outside of these months will will try to help such visitors where possible. Please visit the Study Abroad Office website for more information at http://www.bath.ac.uk/international/studyabroad/accommodation.html

Private Sector Accommodation

If you have been informed by the Study Abroad Office that you will need to find privately rented accommodation: please refer to our Private Sector Accommodation section here

University Accommodation

If you have been informed by the Study Abroad Office that you will be offered the opportunity to rent a room in halls of
residence: in order to guarantee a room you will need to submit your Exchange/Visiting Student application form to the Study Abroad Office by 1st June for Semester 1 (September entry) or 1st November for Semester 2 (January entry).

It will not be possible to apply for a room unless and until you have been formally offered a place by the University of Bath. Your formal offer of admission letter will give you further instructions about how to apply for University accommodation. University accommodation for Exchange students is mainly off-site in the City centre. The BUCS (Bath University Username and Password) that will be needed for the online accommodation application will also be notified to students in advance of them being able to apply.

Rooms for Visiting/Exchange students are let on a specific licence and include the Christmas and/or Easter vacations. Payment is required in full at the start of each session. For detailed guidance notes on completing an application for University Accommodation please click here.
