ACCOMMODATION 2024-25

Where you live is just as important as how you live, so we currently have several options to help make your immersive learning experience ‘all-in’. Moving away from home is a big part of the student experience so we’ve put together some information to help explain your accommodation choices.

We will always try our best to find or provide you with accommodation in your first year of study with us, and second year students will be assisted to find suitable accommodation in or near Talgarth if they wish.

Our dedicated student support team are on hand to assist students with choosing the best option for them. BMCs accommodation is offered through a private agreement between us and the student, whereas other external options (including local hosts) are made between the student and homeowner, and not officially linked to BMC. We will provide contact details of the hosts, for you to get in touch with.

Types and Prices

Our own private student accommodation options start from £120 per week (plus bills), whereas local host options can range from £100 per week upwards (including bills). Prices vary according to room/accommodation size, and location.

Short-term and per-night stays are available with some local hosts, as well as local campsites where you can park a campervan or pitch a tent – there should be something for everyone.

We have a limited amount of accommodation, and encourage applying early.

Please note: Unfortunately, we cannot offer student accommodation to anyone under the age of 18 years old.
