Applying for a studio flat

To be eligible to apply for a studio flat you are required to be an enrolled full time student for the entire session. The Accommodation Office may request evidence from your department. Partners must stay in residence for the duration of the Tenancy Agreement. Regular checks are made and if your partner is not living with you on a full time basis you will be required to vacate the studio flat.
Couples, irrespective of their sexual orientation, may apply for this accommodation provided they are either married or in a long-term stable relationship.
There is no family accommodation available. Students with children/dependants cannot live in the studio flats. When both partners are registered students of the University, each may qualify for occupancy of a studio flat in their own right.

If you want to apply for this session 2012/13, please submit an online application form to be on our waiting list.

To apply for session 2013/14 you have to submit an online application form and pay the £450 booking fee (13/14) by the 31 July 2013.

Evidence of relationship - must be submitted by the deadline date

If you are married or in a civil partnership you would be required to provide a marriage or civil partnership certificate together with a translation if applicable or if you are in a long-term stable relationship we accept a supporting letter/email from a professional body, such as doctor, landlord and your department/school. The Accommodation Office will provide a Supporting Evidence of Relationship Form to you within 2 working days of your application being submitted. If you have previously stayed in a campus studio flat with us and your partner’s details have remained the same you are not required to resubmit your evidence of relationship.

Partner Confirmation - must be submitted by the deadline date

Your partner would also be required to confirm to the Accommodation Office that s/he are aware that their details have been placed on the Studio Flat application. Your partner can confirm this by email to the Accommodation Office.

Priority is given to first year full time postgraduate students and full time research students followed by 4th year final year undergraduate and 3rd year final year undergraduate students. Other undergraduate students are also invited to apply but offers of accommodation are subject to availability.
Offers of accommodation formal or otherwise are provisional and subject to the clearance of all money owing to the University up to and including the end of the Summer Vacation 2012.

The Housing Office keeps a register of off-campus accommodation, and you should contact them directly for advice and assistance. Students with families are strongly advised to travel by themselves and to secure their accommodation first before their families join them. Please note these flats are for adult couples occupation only - no children/dependants are permitted to stay on campus overnight.
