Accomodation

The university does not currently provide on-campus accommodation. However, there are a number of privately owned boarding houses available around the campus. Students are encouraged to make their own arrangements directly with the respective landlords.
To support our students, the university can assist by providing contacts and guidance on available boarding houses in the surrounding areas to help make the transition smoother.
