Places are allocated with a priority to students living overseas and to students with disabilities/medical conditions.[18] The University hosts two “accommodation days” before the beginning of each academic year, so prospective students can independently form house-sharing groups and view private rented accommodation.[19]

The four main halls of residence are:

  • Bath Road - this town centre accommodation consists of 84 self-contained studios with modern kitchenettes and en-suite shower rooms.
  • Madeira Road – built in 2014 with 378 beds, located in the town centre of Bournemouth[20]
  • Winton Halls – situated in Winton
