Accommodation for Clearing Applicants

Yes - it's not too late! We can guarantee you a place in halls for your first year studying at the University of Derby.

You can apply for a place in halls two hours after you have accepted your offer to study at the University of Derby, as soon as your admissions data has come through to our accommodation system. We recommend that you apply as soon as possible, to give you the best chance of getting a place in the halls of your choice.

To apply online you need to set up a Student Living account. You will need your 9-digit student number starting with 100 – you should find this on correspondence from our Admissions team. After you have entered your number, click ‘Generate Password’ and a password will be emailed to you.

Pay your £50 deposit to secure your booking. This will be deducted from your first term’s rent.

For the 2025/26 academic year, prices start from £117 per week. Halls fees are all-inclusive (including electricity, gas, water and superfast WiFi) and fixed for the year, so you can budget more effectively knowing what your accommodation costs are.

For more information about fees, visit our 2025/26 halls prices page.
