Clearing accommodation options

How to find accommodation when you've applied through Clearing.

University managed accommodation

Choosing where to live at university is a big decision – especially if it's your first time away from home. We're here to support you through the process.

We offer guaranteed accommodation if you are a full time, foundation or first year student applying for accommodation for the first time and you submit your application by the deadline.

If you are applying after this deadline, please continue to submit your application as accommodation may still be available.

Finding private accommodation

Lots of our students choose to live in private rented accommodation, and this is a great alternative to university managed accommodation. It gives you more options and is popular with students who want to live off campus.

Private accommodation search tips

Find providers we work with

The UWE Bristol accommodation team can give you general advice, such as information about different areas of Bristol, but can't advise on individual rentals.

For private accommodation queries, contact the private operator directly.
