Newman Hall, a key part of the Catholic Chaplaincy community, offers dedicated student accommodation. We provide 16 undergraduate rooms and 4 postgraduate rooms with contracts typically spanning 39 weeks. In the 2024/25 academic year, rooms were £115 and £120 a week respectively. Rates for the 2025/26 academic year will be confirmed by November 2024.
Eligibility:
Our accommodation is exclusively available to full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students. We are unable to offer tenancy to non-students, including spouses of students or staff not enrolled in a fixed-term higher education programme. While residents do not need to be Catholic, a certain sympathy towards the Catholic faith and its ethos and ethics is essential.

All rooms are ensuite and self-catered. Shared kitchen, lounge, laundry room and communal dinning room. Extensive garden. Wifi and utility bills included. 24 hour access to a Chapel for private prayer and community liturgy. Communal areas are cleaned weekly. A limited number of parking spaces are available for residents at the rate of just £50 a year, subject to the chaplain's discretion. Additionally, we offer limited accommodation over the summer and for events; please get in touch for more details.
Application Process:
Interested candidates should express their interest through our online application form. Acceptance involves agreeing to the license conditions and paying a deposit of £400, which is refundable if academic conditions are not met.

Welcome to Newman Hall: Your Home Away from Home
Location and Access: Nestled just six minutes north of 62 Park Place and conveniently situated behind Nazareth House at the intersection of North Road and Colum Road, Newman Hall is easily accessible via the Nazareth House staff car park.
Accommodations: Newman Hall offers 20 ensuite bedrooms divided into two distinct sections: 16 for undergraduates and 4 for postgraduates. This setting is designed to cater to the different needs of our student community.
Facilities and Community Life: Our residents enjoy a large communal dining room and a cozy student lounge, which includes additional study spaces and a relaxation area specifically for postgraduate students. The hall also houses a chapel where the Blessed Sacrament is reserved for prayer and community Mass.
Catholic Ethos and Support: While residency at Newman Hall is open to all, regardless of faith, our connection with the Catholic University Chaplaincy in Cardiff ensures a nurturing environment rooted in Catholic values. We emphasise safety, mutual respect, community and personal development. Residents also benefit from the presence of the university chaplain who provides pastoral care and support.
