We offer all of our September arrival international students, who apply by 30th June, university managed accommodation (after this date accommodation may be still be available). Halls and facilities Both single and mixed gender accommodation is available, and there is the option of en suite or shared bathroom facilities. We offer specially adapted rooms for students with disabilities. All rooms have wifi. Accommodation fees University accommodation represents great value for money. Residency fees cover Internet connection, personal possessions insurance and all utility services. Fees vary according to hall and/or room facilities. Facilities vary between halls, but all have their own common rooms and launderettes. Please see keele.ac.uk/discover/ accommodation for details of our accommodation fees. Undergraduate students are typically offered accommodation from September to June (37 weeks) enabling them to return home or to travel during the summer vacation. Postgraduate students are offered accommodation for 51 weeks to ensure that they can remain on campus for the duration of their course. Safety and support Student safety is one of our highest priorities and we have a 24 hour security team. Many accommodation buildings have student swipe-card entry systems and each hall of residence has a team of resident support assistants available during evenings and weekends. Single gender We have single gender accommodation in our traditional accommodation blocks (rooms with or without a washbasin or shared 4 person flats). All of our premier flats and premier en-suite rooms are mixed gender since these rooms have their own bathrooms - kitchens are shared between male and female students.
