Accommodation for New Students
Find a home from home in Aston University accommodation.
Registration and applications for September 2025 accommodation are open now.
First year undergraduate applicants at Aston are guaranteed accommodation in September 2025 if they fulfil these criteria:
- They apply to Aston University as a full time student for the full academic year
- Aston University is their Firm Choice via their UCAS application
- They hold a Conditional Offer of a place on an academic programme and have applied for campus accommodation through the online portal by the 31st July 2025.
When you apply for your 2025/26 first year accommodation at Aston, you have the choice of either a room in a 5 bed or 7 bed flat. These flats are split between the James Watt building and the William Murdoch building, each with similar facilities and proximity to Aston's main building and other campus facilities.
Your home from home
Welcome to our on-campus accommodation, Aston Student Village, provided by Unite Students.
Staying here will mean you’ll be a couple of minutes’ walk from all your lecture halls and the library, perfect if you’re someone who likes to leave it until the last second to get out of bed.
It’ll also come in handy when exam season rolls around, especially if you need to do any late-night study sessions in the university library.
Find your new university home with Unite Students and make the most of communal study and social spaces, on-site gyms and 24-hour security.

Allocation and availability
Whilst we try to accommodate everyone's choice, the allocations team cannot guarantee that you will get the building you prefer though, due to limited availability.
Other considerations
- Students who require campus accommodation for supported medical / disability reasons and students who will be 17 at enrolment into the University will be prioritised over any other applicants.
- We endeavour to accommodate all applicants’ preferences, however, on occasions we may be unable to fulfil them due to lack of availability of appropriate accommodation. Although we try to meet requests for mixed sex or single sex accommodation, it is not always possible for us to do so.
- We allocate against a set campus room plan which outlines which buildings are allocated to new first year undergraduate students, undergraduate returning students and postgraduate students, taking into consideration each of their requirements. Specific location requests are therefore subject to our campus room plan.
Key dates:
