International Applicants

As an international student there is a range of accommodation options open to you.

Short-term accommodation

As you will be arriving from overseas without having had a chance to view the University accommodation we offer a number of rooms that are available to book for a short-term from the 10th to the 20th of September (these rooms are available for between £15 and £25 per night). This is to give you the chance to take tours of University accommodation and private sector housing before you to make a decision about where to live in Leeds.

It is important to consider that this may reduce the options that are open to you as halls can book up early however it may be preferable for many to view before entering into a legally binding agreement.

The accommodation team at Leeds Met are committed to helping you find accommodation that matches your preferences. If you have not already booked accommodation with Leeds Met and think that this may be an option for you please email accommodation@leedsmet.ac.uk with your expected arrival date and the number of nights you would like to reserve accommodation for, the accommodation team will then advise you of the address of the accommodation and the details of accommodation tours.

University accommodation

The University's modern student accommodation provide over 4500 places for both UK and international students and are regarded as some of the best in the UK. Most of the accommodation is en-suite bedrooms in self-catering flats with shared kitchen facilities. Some rooms have shared bathroom facilities. You may share kitchen and bathroom facilities with 4 to 6 people. All are conveniently linked by excellent public transport.

University Halls are occupied by students enjoying the freedom of living away from home. Living in University accommodation cultivates friendships with people of different nationalities and the international atmosphere helps learning about each other's culture. Some of our smaller residences such as Woodhouse are preferred by our international students because it offers close proximity to the campus and city centre within quieter surroundings.

Residential Officers live on site to help you settle in and make the most of your time in Leeds.

University accommodation includes utility bills, including; heating, lighting, personal insurance and internet. The only other items you have to pay for are your food and TV licence.
