You will be offered a safe, secure and comfortable place to live; at a competitive rate and student representatives will be on-hand to support you. Contracts only cover the academic year, so you won’t have to pay over the summer vacation.

There are three different types of university-allocated accommodation with similar facilities:

•The University Partnership Programme (UPP) is the residential and preferred partner offering a wide range of purpose built residences. Rather than the University, it’s UPP that manages every aspect of your accommodation. There will be an office in your residences with a UPP representative should you have any issues.

•The University owned residences provide similar facilities to the UPP residences, but tend to be in smaller blocks of accommodation. The Student Accommodation Services support students living in these residences.

•Nottingham Trent also offer University managed residences which are managed by the Student Accommodation Service but owned by private landlords.
