Student’s Accommodation on Campus
Most students pay for 40 weeks but those taking longer courses, such as nursing or teaching, pay for the length of the course.
A damage deposit of £300 will be required in advance and you will be able to pay your accommodation fees in six instalments from October to March or three instalments in October, January and April. If you have any queries about making payments you should contact the University’s Finance Office by emailing feesaccommodation@worc.ac.uk
All fees include broadband internet access, gas, electricity, water, contents insurance and gym membership. All the prices listed are for self-catered accommodation.
Private Rented Accommodation
If you move to privately rented accommodation, you can expect to pay an average of £110-£150 per week for a room in a shared house, plus bills.
Please remember agreement lengths, deposit amounts and arrangements for paying bills vary from property to property. Take advice from the Accommodation Team if you are unsure about any of these important details.
Deposit
You will be expected to pay a deposit of about £300 which landlords must protect using one of the three Tenancy Deposit schemes. At the same time, you will need to pay at least £300 to retain your room during the summer. REMEMBER TO PUT MONEY ASIDE EARLY FOR THESE COSTS.
At the beginning of your tenancy make a photographic record of the condition of your accommodation and then at the end, to prove the condition in which you left it.
