International Accommodation Award

Other eligibility requirements

Whether studying a Bachelors or a Masters, all international students are eligible for our International Accommodation Award.

We are delighted to offer our International Accommodation Award to international fee-paying students. This award means that for students who choose to live in our on-campus Cwrt Mawr housing, there is no cost for the first year of study.

This housing scholarship is available for the first year of study for students enrolled on a 3-year or 4-year Bachelor’s degree. Master’s students and PhD students may also be eligible for their first year, subject to specific terms and conditions.  

We have plenty of availability, however, a room in Cwrt Mawr is not guaranteed, and is allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Students must apply for accommodation by the stated deadlines to be eligible for a room.   

The University offers a variety of accommodation buildings, but the housing scholarship applies only to Cwrt Mawr and only for the first year of study. From the second year of study onwards, students must pay the standard rate for their accommodation choice.

Our Cwrt Mawr accommodation is mainly available to international students, though it is not exclusively reserved for them. International students who book Cwrt Mawr can expect to share with mostly other international students.

All on-campus rooms include the cost of utility bills, Wi-Fi, and free Platinum gym membership at the University’s Sports Centre.   

All on-campus rooms are single occupancy, meaning you will need to find alternative private accommodation in town if you plan to live in Aberystwyth with family members or other dependants. 

*Students must meet the terms and conditions to be eligible for the offer.
