Accommodation
We understand that distance can be a significant barrier for families who wish to visit the University, and we want to make your visit as stress-free as possible. That's why we're pleased to offer eligible families a one-night complimentary stay for up to two people in a twin/double room in our guest accommodation. If you reside far away* and are eligible for this offer, contact our Recruitment Team and we will arrange the details with you.
* To qualify for the complimentary one-night stay, offer holders must reside at least 150 miles from the University. Eligibility will be determined based on the postal code provided in your UCAS application, and rooms will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to availability.
