How to apply
Aberystwyth University has around 3,500 bedrooms available in our residences that are either owned or managed by the University.
*Due to high demand we have currently closed the self-allocation facility on the accommodation portal.
If you are a student who is guaranteed accommodation at Aberystwyth University, please telephone the accommodation office on 01970 622864 during normal office hours. Outside of this period please email accommodation@aber.ac.uk and we will contact you during office hours.
We do our best to offer you your preferred room type when allocating you a place in accommodation. As the residences vary in the numbers of students they accommodate and many rooms are already reserved, obtaining your higher preferences cannot be guaranteed. We will allocate you into an available room.
Upon receipt of the room offer, you will have 7 days to accept the offer and pay your acceptance fee to secure you room.*
When can I apply for accommodation?
Dates when applications open can be found on our New Students webpage, or if you are already a student, our Current Students webpage.
When you complete the application form you will be asked to self-select your room. Therefore, before you apply for accommodation why not take a look at the range of options we have available on our Accommodation Options webpage. We offer a variety of residences; including standard rooms with shared bathrooms, en-suite rooms and self-contained studios.
