Living in a university managed accommodation is a great place to find your feet when you're first away from your home. Most international students take up this option. You can apply for accommodation once we have given you a course offer. You will be made an accommodation offer once your course offer is both academically and financially unconditional. We are not able to offer short term accommodation. We do not provide accommodation for families.

Hatfield and the surrounding area is well equipped with plenty of private rented student houses and flats. As an international student you will be expected to either have a UK based guarantor, or pay up to 6 months rent in advance. The University is unable to guarantee your rent. We have also launched the Partnership Accreditation for Landlords scheme with the local Hatfield Council. Find out more about the Partnership Accreditation scheme. If you require any advice or support regarding sourcing or securing private rented accommodation email the Community Office.
