Applications for pre-sessional accommodation open on the 12 March 2026.
You can apply for pre-sessional accommodation if you are a summer pre-sessional English student with a conditional or combined offer of admission.
You will need to make two applications. One for your pre-sessional accommodation, and one for your postgraduate term time accommodation.
Once you have submitted both applications, the ResLife team will allocate your accommodation. You will receive two emails to your registered email address for each pre-sessional and postgraduate offer of accommodation. All offers will be sent on the Wednesday following the receipt of both applications. If you do not receive both allocations or the contract end dates do not match up, please email us at reslife@bath.ac.uk.
You will need to accept both offers within the 4 days deadline. If you miss this deadline your offer will be withdrawn.
Pre-sessional
To accept your pre-sessional accommodation, payment is required in full on acceptance of your allocation. For postgraduate accommodation (term time) you will need to pay an Advanced Rent Payment of £500 to secure your room.
