Erasmus and Exchange Student Accommodation
Erasmus Students - Accommodation for September 2012
We are delighted to offer a revised and improved service to Erasmus and Exchange students who will be spending some time studying at the University of Salford.
We know it can be expensive if you have to buy items for your house or flat when you arrive especially if you are staying for a short period. That's why we have special 'Erasmus and Exchange' houses which have more equipment in the kitchens and include bedding. This means that when you arrive you will need to buy food but your kitchen and bedroom should have all the items you need.
The houses which are especially for Erasmus and Exchange students are based at Castle Irwell which also has BBQ areas and sports facilities on site. Castle Irwell has a Reception and Resident Life Support Officers who will help you settle in and offer help if you need it.
Castle Irwell - what is included ?
Your weekly rent of £76.79 at Castle Irwell will include :
- A study bedroom in a Castle Irwell house
- A fitted kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge and freezer, cutlery, crockery, glasses, pans and kitchen utensils
- A bedding pack (duvet, duvet cover, fitted sheet, pillow, pillowcase and mattress cover)
- Contents insurance to the value of £3500
- Free membership of the Sports Centre (£20 activation fee applies)
- All utilities are included
- 24/7 broadband internet access
- Each bedroom has a washbasin and mirror
Our houses at Castle Irwell have eleven bedrooms and you will share bathroom and kitchen facilities with other Erasmus students.
Please note all houses are non smoking.
Availability is limited so please apply as soon as your Erasmus or Exchange placement is confirmed.
To Apply
Use the on line application system, first of all you will need to create a user ID and password.
On the online application form there you can select Erasmus Student. You can then select the dates you will require accommodation with us. Erasmus students arriving in September for semester one will only be able to stay in accommodation until the 19th of January 2013 to enable us to prepare our accommodation for the intake of semester two students on the 21st January 2013.
You will only need to pay for the weeks you require accommodation (please note you do not need to move out of the accommodation over the Christmas or Easter vacations - these periods will be included in your accommodation fees).
All other terms and conditions will be the same as our standard contracts please see here for further details.
If all the Erasmus and Exchange houses are fully booked for the period you require we will contact you and advise of alternative accommodation.

If you have already booked accommodation or have an accommodation contract with us, please do not worry that you will not be able to take part in the Erasmus programme. We will need to receive either an email or letter from your tutor confirming that you are taking part and the date it will start. We will then release you from your contract the weekend before the placement starts.
As this is a new initiative we hope it will be popular and offer Erasmus students a better service. If there is any way it could be further improved please let your tutor know or you can email accommodation@salford.ac.uk
