New students starting in September

Applications starting in September

If you are starting a course at the University of Derby in September 2022, you can apply for halls from the end of October/early November. Please be aware that you will have to pay the £50 deposit to complete the process.

If you have a firm offer of a place at the University of Derby, the Admissions team will contact you with your student ID number. Once you have this and halls applications are open, you can apply online for a room in halls.

To secure your booking you will need to pay the £50 deposit which will be deducted from your first term’s rent
When you apply, you’ll be able to list four preferences the hall and room type you want
You’ll also be able to select a preference of either a single-gender or mixed gender flat
If you don’t get the right grades to get in at Derby, you’ll get your £50 refunded in full
We guarantee a room in halls to all new and overseas students who apply before August (this applies to September starters only). If you are applying at other times of the year, we will do our best to meet your requirements depending on availability
Once you’ve applied, we’ll be in touch by email with your offer of accommodation. To accept the offer, complete and return the relevant paperwork to us
We’ll try our best to meet your requests, but rooms tend to be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis – so the earlier you apply the better
Make sure you read our terms and conditions before you apply

What if Derby is my insurance choice?

If Derby is your insurance choice you won’t be able to apply for halls. If the situation changes after you get your exam results and you end up coming to Derby, you can apply for halls once you get your firm offer.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience

Living in halls is a great experience and a fantastic way to make friends and settle into University life.
