How to book your accommodation

Once you have confirmed your place on your course, the Central Student Support team will be in touch with details on the available accommodation and how to apply.

Students under the age of 18 must arrange their accommodation through the Centre. You will receive an invitation to apply for our accommodation when you confirm your place.

Arranging University-managed Accommodation

University-managed accommodation includes both en suite and shared bathroom options across the University of Sussex campus. All rooms are self-catered.

Once you confirm your place on your course we will be in touch to let you know about the room types currently available and ask you for your preference.

Please note that on-campus accommodation is not available for students under the age of 18.

Arranging your own accommodation privately

If you are booking your own accommodation privately it is important that you let us know where you are staying and that you are staying less than 60 minutes away from the University of Sussex International Study Centre. 

Look out for fraud

Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
