Postgraduate 2025 Accommodation questions
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone could help me with a few questions I've got, but first, some background information:
I've successfully got in to a postgraduate course at the University of York, academic year 2025/26. Over the past few weeks I've been keeping an eye on the official University's accommodation webpage, however I haven't seen any new information about postgraduate accommodation (it's still talking about 2024/25). I know some people who recommended I sort accommodation out before Christmas, so I am a little worried.
My department says postgraduate applications open in "Spring 2025" - is there any specific month or date this is?
Furthermore, am I guaranteed a place in Wentworth or another college? The website mentions guaranteed places but redirects me to the Undergraduate FAQ.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I am an undergraduate student at the University of York so I don't know exactly if you are guaranteed a place in one of the colleges. The applications open in Spring which usually means April or May so you will have to keep checking the page for updates. In terms of looking for accommodations in December, that is usually recommended if you are searching to live in the private sector. However, that is just the first wave of accommodation releases so January is also a good time to look. If you feel uneasy to wait until the uni accommodations are made live then you can start looking in the private sector now or you could contact the accommodation services team about your concerns and they can help you out: [email protected]
Good luck!

Hi!
I've checked this with the Accommodation Team. At the moment, they haven't confirmed when they will open for the 25/26 academic year. Once this is confirmed, the website will be updated and any guarantee will be included in that update. So keep doing what you're doing and checking the website for updates - you haven't missed out on anything, don't worry!
There may also be an email that goes out when applications open for accommodation, so keep an eye out for that too.
Hope this helps,
Hazel 🙂
