Halls of residence are available to all students who have been offered a place on a course at UAL.

Students should pick their top 5 halls of residence when applying. We will try to place you in one of your top 5 halls, but we cannot guarantee this will be possible. Please make sure you send in your application early to avoid disappointment.

Applications from disabled students and those under the age of 18, will be prioritised. Please notify us of any special requirements you have on your accommodation application.

Foundation year students work on a different timetable to most other courses but they are still encouraged to book a place in halls.

• Current students looking for accommodation this academic year (2020/21) can apply now.
