Accommodation for returning undergraduate students

If you’re going into your second, third or fourth year of study, you can still apply for a range of University accommodation. Our shorter-term contract options offer flexibility if you’re going to be doing a semester abroad and don’t need accommodation for the full year. Please note that new undergraduate students are given priority when University accommodation is allocated.
