Halls of residence general information

Our accommodation teams understand that transitioning from high school to University can be an overwhelming experience, which is why all of our first-year halls offer a safe and supportive environment to guide you through your first year.

In addition to social and recreational events organised throughout the year, our teams ensure that academic mentoring and informal study groups are available to encourage and engage our residents, and align them for personal and academic success.

The University Open Day is at the end of August each year, and is a great opportunity to visit every hall and residence and get a taste for what life in Student Accommodation is like.
