Single semester and short-term accommodation
We know that not everyone needs student accommodation for a full academic year, so if you’re looking for accommodation on a short-term basis, we offer options for both:
- Short-term stay contracts
- Single-semester contracts.
Short-term stay contracts
We can offer a minimum stay of 28 nights in selected halls to full-time enrolled NTU students.
With residences across the City and Nottingham, we have a wide range of affordable rooms and studios available to suit your needs that are inclusive of bills and internet access. You can also extend your stay subject to room availability.
Full payment is required in advance to secure your booking, with cancellation possible up to 7 days before the start of the contract.
To check availability and book, select short-term accommodation on the NTU accommodation portal.
Summer stays
Nottingham Trent University offers summer accommodation for external guests visiting the city between July and September. Visit our summer accommodation page for more information.

We offer single semester contracts for full-time enrolled NTU students on non-standard courses (such as part-year exchange courses and students studying for one semester).
