The halls that are put aside for healthcare students can change but usually include:
Paramedic Science students are required to have use of a car for placements. As cars are not permitted in halls, these students usually live in shared houses.
Brookes Lettings offer university-managed housing specifically for Paramedic Science Students. We have selected properties in suitable areas located around our campuses (Marston, Cowley and Headington). Contracts will be between 46 and 50 week with rent depending on the property On average, rent for a room in shared housing is approximately £140 per week, excluding bills.
Once applications open and you have a confirmed place on the course, you will be advised to email us at lettings@brookes.ac.uk in order to be added to our waiting list.
The process follows a first-come, first-served basis. Once we have enough paramedic students to fill a house we will arrange a viewing, usually in June. The group viewing will allow you to meet the other students who you will be living with, assuming they accept the house offered. Unfortunately, due to the limited accommodation available, if you decline the house we cannot always offer an alternative.
BA Primary Teacher Education students who require a car for their placements can apply to live in Crescent Hall and Paul Kent Hall on standard 38 week contracts. These students will then be able to apply for a parking permit to park their cars in the Crescent Hall car park.
Any BA Primary Teacher Education students who choose to come to Oxford Brookes without a car, can contact the accommodation team and request to apply for the standard undergraduate halls instead. These students will then not be permitted to keep a car in Oxford.
PGCE Primary 5-11 (with QTS) students who require a car for their placements can apply to live in Paul Kent Hall for the period 6 September 2025 to 11 July 2026. These students will then be able to apply for a parking permit to park their cars in the Paul Kent Hall car park.

Students studying at a partnership college in or around Oxford will be invited to apply for halls accommodation. Please see the main how to apply page for more details.
Depending on the location and length of your course, halls may not be suitable for you. Students living in halls are also not permitted to have car in Oxford which may impact your decision if you require a car to reach to your college.
If you are unsure if halls accommodation will work for you, please check the practical arrangements with your college and then contact us to discuss your options.
