Short-term or alternative accommodation options
We know that many of our students need alternative contracts. We can help - we offer short-term, single semester, January-start and summer contracts designed for flexibility around your needs.
Short-term stay contracts
Flexible ensuite rooms are available to book at Peverell, Simpsons, The Maltings, Gill Street North and Gill Street South in self-catered ensuite flats with a shared kitchen.
Bookings are available on four-week minimum at Peverell and The Maltings and eight-week minimum at Simpsons, Gill Street North and Gill Street South, and are inclusive of all utility bills.

Check availability and book your place by selecting 'short-term accommodation' on the NTU accommodation portal. Please note, short-term bookings are available from the drop-down menu.
Full payment is required in advance to secure your booking. Cancellation will need to be made seven days before the start of the contract.

Single semester contracts
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.

In all cases, payment is due in full immediately to confirm the booking.

January starters – accommodation
For students studying postgraduate courses starting in January, we offer 51-week contracts to accommodate.
January to January contracts for 2027/28 will be available at selected halls. Detaiuls should be released around November 2026.

We offer Summer accommodation between July and late-August 2027 in most halls. If you want to stay in the same hall that you currently live in, you will almost certainly be required to transfer to a different room for the duration of the summer.
