Bournbrook Biography
Home to 178 students, Bournbrook is minutes away from campus and the many world-class sports facilities University of Birmingham is famous for. The residence itself is home to the University’s sports pavilion and benefits from having the vibrant Selly Oak on its doorstep.
Every room is self-catered and includes a private bathroom, single or 3/4 bed, study desk and chair, plus plenty of storage. You’ll share a modern kitchen-diner with between three to six flatmates, which offers plenty of space to socialise, cook and relax, plus open views across Selly Oak and the University.
If you don't want to cook for yourself every day, you can upgrade to Student Living Plus, the University's catered accommodation package. Unlike other catered accommodation, this will give you the freedom and flexibility to choose what you want to eat, when you want to eat it.

All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation
What tenancy length do I need?
Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.
Should I stay in catered student accommodation?
This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.
What is a guarantor and do I need one?
A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.
Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?
Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.
What bills will my rent include?
If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.
What is purpose-built student accommodation?
Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.
Will my student accommodation be furnished?
Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.
