If you’ve accepted a place to study with us in January, we look forward to welcoming you onto campus. If you have not already received an offer of accommodation from us, we cannot guarantee University accommodation, as there is no further availability and our reserve list is closed.
If you are an international student, you must book accommodation before you travel to the UK. If you are unable to secure accommodation you are strongly advised not to travel to the UK and should defer your offer of a place to study with us until the next intake in September 2023.
There are very limited private sector options. If you would like to chat through your options in the private sector, please call us on 01245 683110 for Chelmsford and 01223 698900 for Cambridge. We are available Monday–Friday 9.30–4.30.
If you will be commuting, you can find information about travelling to our campuses in Cambridge, Chelmsford and Peterborough.
We’re always happy to help with any accommodation queries you have.
