If you are starting your studies in September and are issued with a conditional offer you will be sent you an email with information on how to apply for accommodation on campus. You can submit your application via the Student Living Hub. All new students are guaranteed campus accommodation on campus provided you have met the application conditions. Please note, we are unable to guarantee preferences but the information supplied will help the Student Living team to allocate rooms.
New students who have applied for accommodation, met the conditions of their course offer, confirmed their place at Brunel University London and submitted an application by Sunday 31 August 2025, will be offered a room on campus. If you apply for accommodation from Monday 1 September 2025, it may take longer for us to find you a room on campus. But you are welcome to add your name to the waiting list for a campus room.

Clearing students
Students entering the University through clearing should visit our accommodation clearing page for further information.
Deferred entry students
If you’ve accepted your offer at Brunel but have chosen to defer a year, you’ll need to submit a new accommodation application for the year you’ve deferred to.
International students
If you are an Exchange/Erasmus, Brunel Pathway College, English@Brunel or Pre-sessional please visit the International students page for further information.
You will receive your Licence Agreement by email. The Licence Agreement is your offer of accommodation and you’ll need to confirm your room by the deadline shown. If you think your allocation email may arrive while you are away, please ensure that someone responsible is able to deal with the paperwork/emails in your absence so that you do not lose your allocation. Without payment and acceptance by the deadline date your room offer would be withdrawn and offered to another student.
To secure your accommodation you will need to:
- Accept your Licence Agreement online before the deadline date stated in your allocation email
- Pay the accommodation advance payment online - £350 (single rooms) £450 (studio flats)
Before accepting you should make sure you read, understand and agree to the terms of the Residence Regulations and the Licence Agreement as, together, they create legally binding obligations. The Licence Agreement and the Residence Regulations are governed by English Law which international students may find quite different to the law that applies in their own country. Take advice before signing if you feel you need it.
If you did not apply for campus accommodation prior to the start of session but now wish to do please note the following:
- Our campus rooms are usually oversubscribed and therefore the Student Living operates a waiting list for rooms after term has started.
- If you would like to add your details to this waiting list please go to http://accom.brunel.ac.uk/apply.
If you have already applied for accommodation for session 2024/25 your details will automatically be placed on the term-time waiting list once session has started.
You will not be required to pay a deposit in advance however if you are offered a room you will be asked to pay a £350 / £450 (single rooms / studio flats) advance payment to secure a booking. Offers are usually made by telephone so it is important when completing your application that you provide a contact number that we are able to get through to you on easily. You will normally be asked to secure this room with the required payment the same day and the room is likely to be ready for you to move into the next day.
Offers of accommodation will be made in accordance with the Accommodation Policy. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee when we will be able to offer campus rooms as we are dependent on rooms becoming available however we will contact you as soon as a suitable room comes up.
