Halls of Residence

We're here to help you get settled quickly in the accommodation that's right for you.

Halls of Residence

We offer a variety of halls of residence for first-year students. The halls of residence are located on campus or in the Lansdowne area of Bournemouth town centre with excellent bus and public transport links to enable students to easily access the university campus and town centre.

Rooms in our halls of residence are for students in their first year, or for students who have completed their Foundation Diploma and are now entering their first year of an undergraduate course. We're unable to accept accommodation bookings from part-time students.

Continuing students

AUB usually only provides accommodation for students in their first year of study. For subsequent years, you're expected to find accommodation in the private sector.

AUB recognises that you may have difficulty finding suitable private accommodation if you have a disability and require one or more of the following:

  • Accommodation with specific structural adaptations to meet additional needs.
  • Accommodation on campus due to mobility or accessibility issues*.
  • Accommodation with an appropriate space for a registered assistance animal.

* You must be in receipt of the higher rate of the mobility part of PIP (personal independent payment), DLA (disability living allowance) or a blue badge for physical, cognitive or mental health conditions.

If you believe that you meet one or more of these criteria, you're required to have a formal Disability Disclosure with AUB and to submit your request for returner halls accommodation, in writing, to the AUB Accommodation Team by 1 December.

All requests for returner accommodation will be reviewed by a panel in January and notification of the outcome will be provided to you by the end of February. There's no right of appeal against the panel decision.
