Accommodation

College accommodationWhether you're planning to live in University accommodation or rent a house privately, there is help available to you from the University.

Hearing about your University accommodation

Accommodation Services allocate their accommodation within 10 to 14 days from the day A-level results are released.

If you are planning to be on holiday during this time and will not have access to your registered email account, you must email ugradaccom@bham.ac.uk to let them know. Failure to do so may result in your allocation being cancelled unnecessarily. 

University accommodation

You should arrange accommodation before you arrive. If you have not arranged accommodation yet or if you have queries relating to University accommodation which you have already been allocated, contact LIVING Accommodation Services for information and advice.

Private accommodation

Staff at LIVING Accommodation Services can help you with queries about your contract or landlord as well as finding accommodation in the private sector with the University's official website, Studentpad.

SHAC is a dedicated letting agency run by the Guild, and can help students in their search for private rented accommodation.

Accommodation support during your studies

Accommodation support is available for you if you have any issues with accommodation once you have started your studies.
