Types of accommodation
If you choose to live in one of our student accommodation sites, you'll benefit from en-suite rooms, laundry facilities, security and much more. Should traditional student accommodation flats not be for you, the Students' Union also runs a student homes programme which allows you to live in private houses as opposed to shared flats. The number of rooms each private housing comes with varies, allowing you to potentially move in with friends. Private housing is available to all students irrespective of academic year.
Availability
Being an international student, you may be worried about the availability of accommodation when looking to study in a new country, however with our guaranteed accommodation scheme, there is no need to! If you apply for a course and are accepted by 31 August, you will have a guaranteed room in one of our student accommodation blocks. All accommodation sites come with varied contract dates to suit you and your studies.
Making friends
Once you have been given a room and moved in, many of our accommodation providers hold social events for all different types of people no matter what you’re interested in. This means you will be able to meet people who come from a similar background as you, as well as UK students. These social events will allow you to find your feet quite early on and make friends with those that live in the same building as you.
Location
With nearly all of our accommodation sites based in the city centre, socialising in the city is just as easy as socialising in your accommodation, with the added benefit of having to pay no travel costs! The central location of the accommodation also brings you closer to the rest of the UK with transport links such as New Street Station, Digbeth Coach Station and the new HS2 rail network site just a short distance away!
