There is a waiting list for these properties and we are unable to guarantee that we could offer a room or flat to a graduate fresher as they are subject to availability.
Please note that we do not have en-suite graduate accommodation and room allocations are only made upon receipt of a completed financial declaration form with evidence of funding.
