Bristol, University of the West of England

Accommodation

UWE Bristol has 11 fantastic accommodation options both on-campus and in the city.

There are options to suit all budgets and tastes, with many halls having been recently refurbished.

Students can choose between standard bedrooms with a shared bathroom, or en-suite rooms in purpose-built flats of between two and eight students. All flats come with fully equipped shared kitchen and dining areas, and all have onsite laundry and communal social areas.

Accommodation fees range from £4,035.78 to £7,675.76 per year, depending on the type of halls and contract length chosen. Postgraduate students will usually be housed together but will be advised if the only option is shared housing with undergraduate students.

If students prefer to rent in the private sector, the university will help direct them to local accommodation websites, along with connecting them with registered and reliable landlords. University support services onsite can offer impartial advice if students did encounter any problems with a private tenancy, including signposting students to any third party help.
