Applications for the 2023/24 academic year are now closed. Room allocations have now all be confirmed for 2023/24 and we have started to issue welcome letters and inviting student to book an arrival time slot.

King’s College London, Atlas halls of residence: reserved for first year undergraduate conditional and unconditional offer holders and international postgraduate offer holders studying 12 month+ courses. Applications for the 2023/24 academic year are now closed. Confirmation of room in Atlas has been confirmed to successful applicants.
Intercollegiate halls of residence, University of London: open to applications from all conditional and unconditional offer holders and current Courtauld students. Applications for the 2023/24 academic year are now closed. Confirmation of room in Intercollegiate halls has been confirmed to successful applicants.
Contracts to live in halls commence mid-September 2023, and the duration varies between 37 and 51 weeks depending on the provider and the Halls listed in the summary tables below.
All first year undergraduates joining The Courtauld from September 2023 are guaranteed accommodation in halls irrespective of distance, provided they make applications for both Intercollegiate Halls and KCL accommodation. For postgraduate students, allocation of a room in halls is primarily based on several factors including (but no limited to), whether you have a particular disability that would mean not having accommodation in Halls would put you at more of a disadvantage than a non-disabled student; the distance of your family home (not current place of study) from central London; whether you have previously studied in the UK. Students currently living within 90 minutes commuting distance of central London are less likely to secure accommodation, although some have secured accommodation in previous years and are therefore encouraged to apply.
