University Hall (first year, fully-catered)

University Hall students eating and talking

University Hall offers a supportive and fun environment in your first year of study. With 533 residents, you are bound to meet other residents who are studying the same courses as you, or have similar interests, whether they are sporting, cultural or musical. The hall offers the flexibility of single-gender or non-alcohol floors. There are four room options, the older Retro rooms (standard or premium) or the newer Ritz rooms (standard or apartment-style). Apartments have a 1:3 bathroom ratio and the added bonus of a living room, otherwise students are very much part of the University Hall social and academic community, with meals provided in the Dining Hall. Each Residential Assistant has a key group of residents to support throughout the first year. A mix of academic tutorials and an active social programme encourages a healthy work-life balance.

With residents studying a wide range of degrees and with a number of international students, you will gain access to diverse ideas and cultures. Check out the 2021 Move-In video below.
