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. Finding the right accommodation will help you feel at home from the moment you arrive. And here you can select from a range of university managed and private options, either on or off campus and in a range of locations including in Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester or Newport.
University managed accommodation
Applications for university managed accommodation options open on 10 June 2022.
Once you have accepted your offer you will be eligible to start the process towards making an application for your accommodation. You will be able to create your account on our accommodation portal from 21 March 2022.
As allocations will not be made until after the UCAS deadline of 9 June 2022, you can expect to hear from us regarding your allocation from mid-June onwards.
Our accommodation team is on hand to help you navigate all the options.
Private accommodation
University managed accommodation is always oversubscribed, and you may need to consider private accommodation. We will be on hand to help you find the right home for you.
Our Students’ Union Advice Centre is on hand to offer independent advice on private renting issues.
