Applications will open soon for 2023-24 accommodation

Applications open in March for Undergraduate students holding a UF (Unconditional Firm) and CF (Conditional Firm) offer of a place to study. 

You will receive an email from the Admissions team, once you have accepted your place of study, inviting you to book your accommodation online if the University of Sheffield is your Firm choice.

Families and couples

The Accommodation Office will give you every possible assistance to find suitable accommodation, but as demand for this type of accommodation is sometimes greater than the number of properties available, the University cannot guarantee that suitable housing will always be found.

For more information please contact the Accommodation Office via email on accommodationoffice@sheffield.ac.uk or by phone on +44 114 222 4488 (option 2).
