1.27 KAAS rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis until all available spaces have been allocated.
Most accommodation for students contracts align with the academic year. These usually last for about 40 to 44 weeks, starting in late September and running through to mid-June. This period typically covers the entire term time, including the exam period.
First-year students traditionally reside in two facilities: Esseff Hall for women, and Holy Cross Hall for men. The majority of the rooms available are double occupancy, but students can apply for single rooms if they are available.
Accommodation is normally provided for 39 weeks for undergraduates (the standard three terms plus the start of the summer vacation) and for 50 weeks and 4 days for postgraduates. In both catered and self-catered halls, the offer includes residence for Christmas and Easter vacations.
In addition, all new undergraduate students on a 40-week contract and all postgraduate students are guaranteed accommodation with us if they book before the guarantee deadline. Before you make a booking, explore our residences page to fully understand the location, room fees, and facilities available at each residence.
If you have a fixed term agreement and for some reason you want to move out of halls before the end of the fixed term, you can only end the agreement early if: there is a term in your agreement, known as a break clause, which allows you to end the agreement early.
