Does the University of Birmingham guarantee accommodation for first-year students?

Yes, they offer an Accommodation Guarantee for all incoming international first-year students. As long as you accept your academic offer and submit your accommodation application before the strict deadline (usually around mid-July), you are guaranteed a room in university-owned halls like the Vale Village or Pritchatts Park. This takes a lot of stress out of moving to a new country. To see a cost comparison of catered vs. self-catered halls, review our practical Birmingham Accommodation Cost Comparison.
