Which residence should I apply for?

Since most study programs are offered at the Hatfield Campus, you have the option to apply for residences at the Hatfield, Hillcrest, or Groenkloof Campuses. You can explore the available residences to choose from here;

• For Faculty of Health Sciences Applicants: If you are pursuing a study program within the Faculty of Health Sciences, you will be considered for residence placement at Hatfield, Hillcrest, or Groenkloof campuses. Upon selection for a Health Science course, you will be transferred to a Prinshof campus residence, based on availability. If you request to be considered for a different course due to not being selected for Health Science, your residence consideration will remain at Hatfield, Hillcrest, or Groenkloof campus.
• For Faculty of Education Applicants: Students enrolled in Education will be accommodated in a residence on the Groenkloof Campus.
• For Faculty of Veterinary Sciences Applicants: Students seeking an undergraduate Bachelor of Veterinary Science will be considered for Hatfield Campus accommodation for the first year. Only from the second year onwards, they may apply for residence placement at Onderstepoort residence. For Diploma in Veterinary Nursing students, placement at Onderstepoort residence is considered upon program admission.

If I’m in a residence and apply for an honours program, can I also apply for a postgraduate residence?

You must reapply for your current residence and request a transfer after final admission to the honours program. Applying for a postgraduate residence isn’t automatic and depends on availability. Applying earlier increases your chances as demand is high.
