University Halls, Private Halls and Private Managed Accomodation

Newcastle University can offer you accommodation in their own residences or nominated partnerships in Private Halls. Here are the details of the full provision in University offered Accommodation and how to apply.

If you would like to live in the private rented sector or are unable to secure University accommodation we can offer advice on how to look for housing. See our House Hunting section. We cannot provide lists of property or recommend housing providers or arrange viewings but hopefully we can provide you with a starting point and support you through the process.
