Your options
The options available to you will vary based on your course and level of study.
Applications for postgraduate accommodation open on the 15 March 2023, and allocations are completed on a first come first served basis subject to eligibility criteria being met.
Eligible overseas postgraduate student
If you are an eligible overseas postgraduate student and apply by the deadline, you are guaranteed a room in any of our postgraduate accommodations.
We will allocate based on your higher-ranked room type preferences where possible. Due to room availability at the time you become eligible for accommodation we may not always be able to offer you your preferred room type.
Postgraduate students from the UK
We have now allocated all the available rooms for our home postgraduates joining us in September 2023.
If you are still looking for accommodation, you may wish to explore other accommodation options in the private sector. Our ResLife support team can offer guidance and advice with this and signpost suitable accommodation options.
If you have a disability or medical condition
Make sure you tell us if you have a disability or medical condition when applying for accommodation so that we can consider your needs.
Additional requirements and preferences
When doing your application, you can request to live in mixed or single-sex accommodation.
You can also tell us if you would prefer to live in designated quiet or vegetarian accommodation. This will be considered together with your room type preferences, although it is not guaranteed and is subject to availability and demand.
We are committed to providing a safe and happy environment for students to live in, whatever their choice of accommodation. We value diversity and inclusivity, and want everyone to be treated with respect.
For example, we can help you if you:
- are trans and/or gender diverse; we may be able to place you in an en-suite bedroom or a studio
- are non-binary or intersex; we can look at allocating you to a mixed-gender flat
To speak to someone about applying under these circumstances, contact our ResLife team at reslife@bath.ac.uk. The team is available to support you through every step of your move to University accommodation.
