After you accept your place

In the meantime, here's what you can expect and a few things you can do to prepare for your arrival.

Find a place to live

With a range of room options either on campus or in the nearby historic city centre, our accommodation is a great place to live and study. You’ll also be just a short walk, cycle or bus ride away from your department, the Library, and a range of study and social spaces.​
