Courses with specific accommodation

Nursing and Midwifery

The following healthcare courses have different semester dates to other courses:

Nursing (Adult) Degree and Diploma
Nursing (Children's) Degree (pre-registration only)
Nursing (Mental Health) Degree (pre-registration only) and Diploma
Midwifery (pre-registration only)

For students on these courses we offer a specific selection of recommended halls with longer contract lengths. This means that if you’re a healthcare student on a course above, you will be living with other students on similar courses. All healthcare contracts will start on 12 September 2026 however the end dates will vary.

Note: Contract lengths and dates are based on course requirements and are therefore subject to change.

As with other courses, you will need to await your invitation email from us, and apply online using the Accommodation Portal. Please see the main how to apply page for more details.

The halls that are put aside for healthcare students can change but usually include:

Note: In accordance with Oxford City Council planning regulations, students in University Halls of Residences are not permitted to have a vehicle in the city or at their accommodation. This applies to all students, including Nursing/Midwifery students needing a car for placement.

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 Brookes Lettings shared houses.

We have selected properties in suitable areas located around our campuses (Marston, Cowley and Headington).
Contracts will be between 46 and 50 weeks.
Rents vary by property and room size with average rent being approximately £155 per week (excluding bills).
Bills can vary but are on average £20 per week (per person).

Brookes Lettings booking process for Paramedic Science students

Brookes Lettings

Applicants with confirmed offers to study will be contacted by the accommodation office or Brookes Lettings team when accommodation applications open.
You will be asked to provide the Brookes Lettings team with your property preferences from those set aside for Paramedic Science Students (please be aware that these will not be found on the online Housing List).
Property allocations will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
House viewing appointments usually occur during June, ideally with groups that may be living together.
Unfortunately, due to the limited accommodation available, if you decline the house we cannot always offer an alternative.

BA Primary and PGCE Courses

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.

Courses at Partner Colleges

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.

If you would prefer to look into shared housing then we advise looking at options via Brookes Lettings.
