To qualify for guaranteed University accommodation you must also respond to your offer of accommodation by the deadline date detailed in the Accommodation Offer.

Accommodation Options

We offer a variety of accommodation options, with the majority of our residences only being a short walk away from campus.

We offer a range of self-catered residences with either en-suite rooms, flats with shared facilities, or our self-contained studios. Offering a variety of styles, budgets and locations to find the space that works for you.

We recognise that postgraduate courses run longer, so therefore we do have rooms available in our dedicated postgraduate residence in Rosser (en-suite rooms) for 50 weeks, where you can enjoy continuous occupation in one place.

If cooking isn’t for you, then why not check out our fantastic, flexible meal plan packages available.

If you are a Welsh speaker or learner and would like to live in a Welsh speaking environment, then we have dedicated Welsh-medium accommodation available.

When & how to apply for accommodation

If you have received an offer to study at Aberystwyth University (which may be conditional), from mid-March onwards, the Accommodation Office will contact you by e-mail and post inviting you to apply for accommodation.

Our How to Apply webpage provides a handy step-by-step guide on making an online application for University accommodation.  

Alternative Accommodation Options

If living in University accommodation is not for you, then alternatively you may prefer to live in Private Sector Accommodation.

Aber Students’ Union Advice Service provides information, advice and support on all aspects of housing in University accommodation and the private sector.
