Accommodation for International Students

 

If you are not a European National, the Immigration rules state that you must have enough money to pay for your accommodation in the UK without working or claiming welfare benefits from the UK Government.

The Student Support Adviser in Student Services will help you arrange somewhere to live before you arrive in the UK. It is important that you arrange your accommodation before entering the UK.

When you are offered a place on your chosen course you will be asked if you would like the College to arrange your accommodation and if so what type of accommodation you would like.
