I really enjoyed my time in halls of residence. I made lots of friends and settled in to student life very quickly. University accommodation is ideal because it offers you a place to study, eat, sleep and socialise in safe, informal surroundings; a place where you can be at the heart of student life, but nd your own space when you need it.
Michael Lewis, Psychology student.

Postgraduate Guarantee Scheme The University guarantees a place in University accommodation to all rst year postgraduate international and Non-UK EU students providing you have: p Accepted our academic offer rmly by 1 September 2014 p Submitted the accommodation application by 31 July 2014 p Come to Birmingham on your own (not with family or a partner) p Applied for accommodation for a full academic year
If your application does not fall under one of the above guarantee schemes you are still strongly encouraged to apply for accommodation. In practice, LIVING is usually able to offer accommodation to most applicants, and where this is not possible you will be advised of the other options available to you. If you are coming to Birmingham with a partner, we have a small number of double studio apartments which are ideal for a couple. Our accommodation is offered on a 42 week or 50 week contract basis (for postgraduates). If you only require accommodation for part of the academic year then you are still encouraged to apply, however students applying for a full years accommodation will take priority. If you would like information about living in the private sector, LIVING will be happy to provide advice.

I lived in Maple Bank in my rst year it was my rst choice because of its location on the Vale. I loved the friendly atmosphere that came from living in a block with lots of other students.

I lived on the Vale and loved being catered. There was so much choice and being able to just swipe your card to pay was simple. Perfect when you dont want to cook!

Next steps
You can apply for accommodation as soon as you have your offer of a place to study here. You will need your student ID and an email address to apply.
All accommodation is allocated on the basis of the date of application. Some accommodation is inevitably more popular than others, therefore rst choice accommodation cannot always be guaranteed. You are therefore encouraged to apply for your accommodation as soon as possible as this will increase your chances of getting your rst choice accommodation. Accommodation offers are sent out by email once you have fullled the entry requirements for your place at Birmingham and you have accepted your place. You can expect to receive your offer in August, within 14 days of having conrmed your place. Students whose places at Birmingham are unconditional can expect to receive their offers in June or July. Clearing, insurance and late applicants should still apply as soon as possible for their accommodation, but your application may take longer to process once you have conrmed you are coming to Birmingham. A 550 pre-payment will be required to secure your accommodation when you receive your offer. This is not a deposit; it will be deducted from the overall accommodation cost. You can then opt to pay for your accommodation in full, or in instalments. (This applies to University accommodation only. Third party private providers of accommodation deposit and payment information will follow with your offer, if appropriate). For more information on fees please visit www.birmingham.ac.uk/students/ accommodation/pay-fees.aspx
Offers of accommodation
are made once you have fullled the conditions of entry and conrmed your place at University (Usually in August)
