Accommodation for full degree students
Halls of Residence
|
International Students attending full-length courses whose
student housing applications are received by 1st
May (for a September start) are normally guaranteed a
place in the hall of residence for the first year of study.
However, if you miss the deadline, you should still apply as soon
as you are offered a place on the course, as your application will
still be prioritised.
Some of our halls are very well located in the heart of
London's thriving West End, close to the theatre district, the main
shopping area and also to some of London's famous Royal Parks,
whilst others are located in quieter more residential areas.
For further information and details of the location and
costs for all of the University's own residences, please visit
the Housing Office's Halls of Residence web pages. |

Halls include...
The halls offer basic hostel style accommodation
with:
- single rooms (some with en-suite shower room)
- laundry facilities
- shared kitchens providing cookers, microwaves, fridge freezers
and storage cupboards
- washbasins in the study bedrooms (except Marylebone)
- shared bathrooms (except Harrow). Limited single sex
accommodation is available but, in most halls, men and women share
bathrooms.
- daytime receptionist and a security guard at night.
- located in well-lit areas
- a maximum of half an hours travelling time from the main
campuses by public transport.
You will need to provide your own bedding, cutlery and
crockery (this can be bought cheaply locally). See the section
Preparing to come to the UK for some helpful
tips!
For students studying at the Harrow Campus, there is a hall on
campus. The Harrow Hall has en-suite showers and some double
and twin bedrooms are available.
Privately Rented Accommodation
Many international students choose to live in privately rented
accommodation. Privately rented accommodation is plentiful in
London, but the search for the right place will probably take you
several days. For further information on privately rented
accommodation, please visit the Housing Office's
Private
Accommodation web pages.
The University provides free help and advice. The
University's Student Housing Service has
an office based at the Marylebone Halls (for help with housing for
students studying at the central London campus), and also an office
at our Harrow halls (for students studying at the Harrow
campus).
