About KAAS KAAS will be awarded on a first come first served basis until all available spaces have been allocated. Students approved for KAAS will not be asked to make the £450 advance payment of rent in order to secure their room.
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.
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.
Our King's Flatmate Finder on Microsoft Teams is exclusively for current King's students. You can use it to look for housemates to fill an empty room or to search for accommodation. To join, you must have completed your enrolment at King's and have received your university email address.
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.
The King's Affordable Accommodation Scheme (KAAS) is designed to ensure King's Residences maximises the number of rooms priced at the lowest possible rates to allow students from more challenging financial backgrounds to access accommodation.
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.
1.27 KAAS rooms will be allocated on a first come first served basis until all available spaces have been allocated.
Intercollegiate Halls For 2025/26 intercollegiate accommodation available through Royal Holloway will be in Handel Mansions. With a limited number of places, intercollegiate accommodation is available on a first-come-first-served basis to full-time postgraduate students only.
