Undergraduate accommodation discount

The University and Liverpool Guild of Students offer an accommodation discount to students living in University accommodation, if they are in receipt of the full or partial Liverpool Bursary (as well as other bursaries, such as Care Leavers).

Are you eligible for the accommodation discount?

We are pleased to confirm that the Accommodation Discount will be continuing for students living with us for 2025 Entry. 

Students who are eligible will receive a 10% discount on their Accommodation Fee. 

As this discount is in line with eligibility for other bursaries, it will not be applied immediately to accommodation fees. If you are paying in instalments, the discount will be applied:

  • September - standard accommodation fee amount
  • January - 5% overall discount applied
  • April - 5% overall discount applied.

The discount is pro-rata - if you decide to leave University Accommodation, it will be adjusted to reflect the nights stayed only. It is only available for students living in University Owned Accommodation and not applicable to those living with our Private Providers. 

To find out of you are entitled to receive the accommodation discount, please read through this page The Liverpool Bursary

If you are entitled to the Liverpool Bursary, at either the higher or lower level, and will be living in University accommodation, you will also receive an accommodation discount. 

You don't need to apply for this bursary. By submitting an online application for government grants or loans, you consent to share your information with the University. This allows our Student Fees team to assess your eligibility. You'll be notified if you're eligible to receive this bursary.

If you'd like to speak to a member of our team for further information about the discount, please get in touch.
