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 - they're 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 contract.
To check availability and book, select short-stay contracts on the NTU accommodation portal.

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).
