Accommodation

Accommodation at UCA ranges from on-campus halls of residence to managed flats and houses, all of which are self-catering and the majority being single study bedrooms.

There are modern halls of residence and student villages at each of our campuses – some located on-campus, some close by. The choice of local houses and flats managed directly by the University give a variety of options to suit a range of different tastes, lifestyles and budgets.

We also provide extensive lists of private accommodation to assist you in searching for the right home for you. Whilst you’re at UCA, your safety and welfare are extremely important to us. We have out-of-hours support available through our teams of student wardens.
