    When should I apply?

    We encourage you to apply as soon as possible to allow time for the application process and for you to obtain a visa, if necessary. 

    Please see our accommodation pages for information about applying for accommodation. You will need to have submitted an online hall of residence application by the dates on these pages. If you wish to apply for halls of residence after this date, please contact the university Accommodation Bureau directly on accomm@brookes.ac.uk

    Late applications

    If the application deadline has passed and you are an EU student who does not require a Tier 4 visa to study at the university, then please email us at admissions@brookes.ac.uk to see if we can consider a late application from you. We will email you to confirm if this is possible.
