Some students on certain courses will require specific types of accommodation. Please check below for information relating to these courses.
If you are studying a full-time course not mentioned below, please return to the prospective student halls page.
The following healthcare courses have different semester dates to other courses:
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 you will be living with other students on your course. All healthcare contracts will start on 16 September 2023 however the end dates will vary.
The halls that are put aside for healthcare students can change but usually include:
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.
If you need to use a car for placements you may prefer to live in shared housing, as it is not permitted to keep or use a car within Oxford city limits if you live in halls. You can apply for shared housing as a group or an individual. Please contact Brookes Lettings on +44 (0) 345 193 2425 or lettings@brookes.ac.uk for further information.
You can choose to live in a university-managed shared house with other students on your course. Paramedic Science students usually live in a shared house because these properties have parking, enabling you to bring a car with you to get to your placements.
We have selected properties in suitable areas located around our campuses (Marston, Wheatley, Cowley and Headington). Your contract will be between 46 and 50 weeks and the rent you pay will depend on which house you are allocated. As a guide, the average rent for a shared house is approximately £135 per week, excluding bills.
Once you have been offered a 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 alternative accommodation.
If you are not going to bring a car with you to Oxford, you can choose to apply for university halls of residence instead. It is not possible to keep a car in Oxford if you live in one of our halls.
