Postgraduate and mature students
Find the best place to live and study
As a new postgraduate or mature undergraduate student you have a great range of accommodation options available to you while studying at LJMU.
Each year the university sets aside a number of full flats for new postgraduate or mature undergraduate students in several of the halls offered to new students. Students who choose one of these flats will therefore not have to share a living space with new undergraduates who are coming to university directly from school or college. In this context ‘mature' means students who are at least 21 years old when they first enrol at the university.
All postgraduate students are given a longer tenancy of 50 or 51 weeks as a default. Mature undergraduate students are given a 42 week tenancy as a default. Mature undergraduate students can also request a longer tenancy (50 or 51 weeks) if they wish.

The halls available for Postgraduate students with an offer for the January 2025 intake are listed on the January 2025 webpage.

Please email the Accommodation Office for advice if you are thinking about requesting a studio.
If you prefer not to share your accommodation with new undergraduate students and do not want to live in any of the options listed above you should contact Liverpool Student Homes, which is owned by the three universities in Liverpool and maintains official listings of good quality private houses and flats.
International postgraduate applicants should also read our page for international students, which includes information regarding guarantors.
PGDE/PGCE students
Students undertaking a PGDE/PGCE course require accommodation with an earlier start date due to teaching starting earlier than other postgraduate courses. For September 2025 courses, teaching starts on Thursday 4 September 2025, so our accommodation tenancies will start on or before Wednesday 3 September 2025.
Further information for students undertaking a PGDE or PGCE course at LJMU in 2025/26 will be confirmed soon. Please check this page for future updates.
All students with special requirements or who require individual advice may of course email the LJMU Accommodation Office at any time at accommodation@ljmu.ac.uk.
