Student Accommodation

Everything you need to know about your living options.

The many and varied accommodation options enable you to live independently in safe, secure and sociable surroundings. You will experience living in a great city and make new friends from around the world and outside of your own subject area. 

Bespoke accommodation options for students joining the 4-year Graduate Entry Programme (with its earlier start date) will be available. These will be communicated directly to GEP offer holders.

Transport

Transport links to Easter Bush campus are excellent and bus pass expenses are subsidised.

A monthly bus pass costs around £570 per year, which the School subsidises proportionally in line with your year of study. Bus passes cover travel to and from campus as well as across the city networks outside of study time.

Important information regarding catered accommodation at Pollock Halls of Residence

BVM&S semester dates are slightly different to the majority of other degrees. This means that there are likely to be short periods during the year that the main restaurant will be closed and no meals provided.  If you express a preference, or receive an offer, for catered accommodation at Pollock Halls you should bear this in mind.
