Accommodation offers
If you are eligible and submit your application before the deadline, you will be contacted by the Housing Office via email regarding whether you have received an accommodation offer.
Please note that the booking process involves several steps and may be affected by last-minute cancellations. This means it can take up to two to three months or longer before all applicants are informed about the status of their application.
When applying, you can indicate your preferred housing areas, but it is not possible to choose a specific room. There is also no guarantee that an offer will match your preferences. You may add further wishes—such as a room on or not on the ground floor—under “Additional information” in the application form.
If you receive an accommodation offer
The offer will be sent via email and includes a housing contract with all the necessary information about your accommodation and rent payments.
- Read the contract carefully before accepting the offer.
- You have a limited time to respond, so check your email frequently.
- Only one offer is made – no second offers will be sent.
Rental period
Student accommodation is rented per semester, and rent is charged accordingly.
Please note that the arrival and departure dates stated in the housing contract are fixed and cannot be changed.
