Presessional and international foundation

Courses run on various dates through the academic year at the Centre of English Language Education and the University of Nottingham International College.

We can help you with single occupancy accommodation. However, for courses that run outside of typical study periods availability may vary and room moves may be required.

Information for agents

Agents applying on behalf of students should use the student's own email address. We will send accommodation offers to this address for students to review and accept. All agreements are made between the student and accommodation provider so students must accept their offer themselves.

* In order to fulfil our guarantee we may offer accommodation that is not in one of our advertised residences. We may also offer temporary accommodation, or a place in a room shared with another student for a short time. We offer this until we are able to transfer you to suitable permanent accommodation.

If you have firmly accepted your offer at the University of Nottingham and have your Nottingham ID, you can apply for accommodation. You will need your Nottingham ID to access the online form and complete registration.

We recommend you apply as soon as you can, as rooms are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Step three

You will make a selection based on the following preferences:

Location
Room type
Catered or self-catered
Cost
Contract length

Applications are now open, book online

Step four

Once you have submitted your application, you will receive a confirmation email. You will then receive further details of your accommodation offer within four weeks.

If for any reason you will no longer be attending the University or do not require your accommodation, it is your responsibility to cancel your accommodation in accordance with the accommodation providers’ terms and conditions.
