Find out where you’ll be living
If you’ve applied for University-managed accommodation, our Housing Team will contact you over the next few days.
If you’ve applied through Clearing, you will receive information about accommodation by email once you have accepted our offer on UCAS Track (you can only accept your offer after 3pm on Thursday 15 August).
If you haven’t yet applied for University-managed accommodation, or you’re planning on finding accommodation in the private sector, take a look at our getting accommodation page for new students.
You'll need to pay your accommodation fees through our accounts system a few days after you move in. We will be in touch about this closer to the time.

Online registration
You’ll receive a registration email (to the email address you applied with) from us by the end of August. This will tell you how to register online. This is very important as it will officially make you a member of the University.
During online registration you will also be asked to pay your tuition fees. If you are paying tuition fees with a Student Loans Company loan, you will not need to arrange payment through online registration.
If you have a scholarship, this will be displayed in the registration process.
Find out more about online registration.
