International Students

The International Accommodation Award means the cost of your university-managed housing is included in your tuition fees.

Depending on which accommodation you choose, this will either be totally free or discounted by £2,000. 

Please note that free accommodation spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.  If there are no free spaces left, you will be sent an offer for a discounted rate in your other hall of choice.

You will need to re-apply for your accommodation each year by the deadline, and accommodation will again be allocated on a first come first served basis.

The University has several different accommodation options to choose from.

When you make an application to study at Aberystwyth University, you will be given access to the Accommodation Portal, which opens in April.

You will be required to choose the accommodation options available to you by room type and location in order of priority.  The International Accommodation Award offers free accommodation in Cwrt Mawr or a £2,000 discount on the cost of accommodation in our other halls of residence.  If Cwrt Mawr is where you want to live, you should select this as your first or second choice.  There are a limited number of spaces in Cwrt Mawr.  If there are no longer any free spaces available, you will be offered discounted accommodation according to your hall preferences.  If you wish to receive the £2,000 discount, please prioritise these accommodation options in order of preference.  Rooms will be allocated on a ‘first come first served’ basis in accordance with our priorities policy

Please note…

If you initially move into Cwrt Mawr, but later decide to move to a different university-managed building, then the £2,000 discount will be applied to the cost of the new accommodation on a pro-rata basis (at a nightly rate, minus any time lived in Cwrt Mawr). Moving accommodation is subject to availability and requires you to complete a Transfer Request.

All MBA students will be required to move to alternative accommodation during the summer vacation.
