Accommodation guarantee

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.

Terms and conditions

  • The guarantee applies to all undergraduate and postgraduate, home and international students joining us in September 2025 who submit their accommodation preferences by the deadline of 1 July 2025.
  • You must be entering into your first year of studies at the University. If you have lived with us in your foundation year, you will not be eligible for UWE Bristol managed accommodation in your next year of studies.
  • You will be made an offer of accommodation in UWE Bristol owned or partner accommodation. This may be located in Bristol city centre and we cannot guarantee that it will be one of your top preferences.
  • Applicants who decline the offer of accommodation or fail to accept within the timescale will forfeit the guarantee, and the accommodation offer will be withdrawn.
