Cardiff Metropolitan University Accommodation for September 2026

Updated

Accommodation places are still available at Cardiff Metropolitan University for students starting in September 2026. You can apply online, or call 029 2041 6188 to discuss your options before applying. The university lists accommodation as part of its student life information, alongside careers, study abroad and other support.

How to apply

  1. Go to the Cardiff Met accommodation pages and choose the online application option.
  2. Complete the application with your details and preferences.
  3. Submit it and wait for confirmation from the accommodation team.

If you would rather talk through the choices first — for example, if you are unsure which site suits your course or budget — call 029 2041 6188. The university explicitly invites calls to discuss options, so this is a legitimate first step rather than a last resort.

What to check before you apply

  • Campus and travel: Cardiff Met runs more than one campus, so confirm which one your course is based at before choosing a hall. A short walk to lectures is worth more than a slightly cheaper room across the city.
  • Contract length: Ask whether the contract covers the full academic year, including any placement or dissertation periods, so you are not paying for a room you cannot use.
  • What is included: Check whether bills, Wi-Fi and contents insurance are part of the rent, and what kitchen and laundry facilities are provided.
  • Deposit and payment deadlines: The university publishes payment deadlines for fees and finance. Ask the accommodation team how deposit and rent instalments align with those dates so you are not caught out early in the term.

If you are still deciding on Cardiff Met

Accommodation questions usually sit alongside course and offer questions. Two other routes may help:

  • Undergraduate Open Days are running on Saturday 10 October and Saturday 7 November. These include tours of facilities, accommodation and campuses, and a chance to speak to course tutors and current students — useful if you want to see a room before committing.
  • Clearing 2026 is the route for anyone still securing a place for this September. You can contact the university on Live Chat or call 0300 330 0755.

Practical notes

  • Apply as early as you reasonably can. "Places still available" means exactly that — availability can change as offers are confirmed.
  • If you have a disability, a medical condition or specific dietary needs, raise it during the call rather than in a free-text box, so the team can tell you which buildings can meet your requirements.
  • Keep a record of who you spoke to and when, especially if you were promised a particular room type.

For the most current list of halls, room types and prices, use the accommodation section of cardiffmet.ac.uk or call the number above — the university does not publish full pricing in the material summarised here, so confirm costs directly before you commit.
