How to book accommodation

The process of booking depends on what type of accommodation and provider you need. We’ve put together some useful information on how to book university, UPP at NTU or private accommodation.

Bookings for students starting from September 2025 are now open for bookings.

To book you’ll need your NTU ID number, which will have been sent to you in your offer communications from us.

You must also have:

confirmed NTU as your first choice on UCAS Hub,
have accepted your offer on our applicant portal if you applied direct,
or be a returning NTU student.

We do not require a deposit to reserve university or UPP at NTU accommodation.

What to consider when booking private accommodation

If you are interested in private accommodation, you must book directly with that private provider. Your contract will be with the company or individual that manages that building.

NTU recommends several private providers for purpose-built student accommodation and there are lots of options to choose from. We partner with Unipol who provide accommodation across Nottingham.

We recommend that students with mobility, hearing, or visual impairments, or multiple conditions contact us before booking a room. We might be able to make adaptations and/or adjustments to help you find a room that suits your specific needs.
