University accommodation for postgraduate students
Leeds Beckett accommodation is open to all students at all levels of study so we're sure you'll find a space that's right for you. You're welcome to book any room across our sites (except Mill Street) and many postgraduate students like to live with other mature residents. Accommodation is self-selected so you can choose which room to book and whether you want to live in an Over 21’s flat or not.
There are also a number of studio flats available at sites including Arena Village, Carnegie Village and Marsden House which are popular with postgraduate students wanting a self-contained flat.
Accommodation for families
Because university halls of residence are single occupancy, most students with families prefer to live in private rented accommodation. For help finding the right house for you and your family we recommend contacting Unipol Student Homes, or starting your search with their shortlist of areas close to the city centre. Their advice will help you to narrow your search for affordable, family-oriented rental properties within short commuting distances.
If you have not yet arrived in Leeds, you are strongly advised not to travel with your family unless you have found suitable long-term accommodation. Short-stay accommodation tends to be very expensive and is also difficult to find, particularly as a family. Once in the Leeds, if you are unable to secure family accommodation quickly, having to stay in short-stay accommodation will have a serious negative impact on your finances.

Postgraduate FAQs
If your partner is also studying at Leeds Beckett, you could book accommodation in the same flat but you would need to book a room each as all our accommodation is single occupancy (including studio flats).
If your partner is not a Leeds Beckett student then we would not be able to offer housing to your partner and you would need to search for private accommodation.
