Notes 1. All accommodation is arranged from the Sunday evening before the course begins until the Saturday morning after the course ends. The prices quoted are for the same period. If it is impossible to arrange arrival and departure times to fit in with these days, extra nights can usually be arranged on payment of a supplement. 2.

We offer accommodation in an exclusive residence (single room with private bathroom) throughout the year (except in August and over Christmas, when this type of accommodation may be available on request). Accommodation in a standard residence is available year-round. In this case, students are accommodated in single rooms with a shared bathroom. In summer (July, August and the first half of September), shared rooms are also available. 4. Exclusive student residences offer a higher standard of accommodation than standard student residences. The buildings are generally more modern and include extra facilities such as air conditioning, study rooms, sports facilities, etc. 5. Twin/double rooms (in shared apartments or host families) are available upon request for couples travelling together. 6. Students staying in one of our apartments will be asked to pay a refundable €200 deposit in order to cover any possible loss or damage to their accommodation. 7. Prices for alternative types of accommodation (hostels, hotels, private apartments, etc.) are available on request.
