Accommodation
Here's our guide to all things accommodation, from what’s on offer and how to apply, to what you need to know about after you've moved in.
Accommodation at UWE Bristol
Choosing where to live is as exciting as it is nerve-wracking – especially if it's your first time away from home. But we'll help you put any nerves to rest. Great accommodation options – on campus and in the city – help you feel at home from the moment you arrive.
In your first year
We have a range of accommodation options on offer. Applications for accommodation open at the end of March. Once you have accepted your offer you will be eligible to make an application. However, allocations will not be made until after the UCAS deadline of Thursday 9 June 2022, so we’ll let you know after where you’ve been allocated in mid-June.
If you need private accommodation
Accommodation on campus is always oversubscribed, so you may need to find private accommodation, but we're here to help.
Any other queries? Our accommodation team is on hand to help you navigate all the options.
