Accommodation Arrangements

Please consider your accommodation options carefully and ensure you have arranged accommodation before you arrive in the UK, even if it is temporary accommodation whilst you look for somewhere permanent to live.

On campus accommodation

If your course is being held at the Cranfield campus and you will be a full-time student, you will be able to apply for on campus accommodation as soon as you receive your course offer.

Please be aware that we do not offer a guarantee of accommodation specifically for international students; therefore, we strongly recommend that you apply early as on campus accommodation is very popular.

Off campus accommodation

Many students live in the local areas around the Cranfield and Shrivenham campuses and we can assist you in looking for off campus accommodation.

Medical Care

If you are from a European Economic Area (EEA) country you should obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) before you travel to the UK to ensure you are able to use NHS medical services.

International (non-EEA) students are eligible for some NHS treatments providing your course is for six months or more but you may wish to consider private medical insurance before you travel.
