  • Post-doctoral students
  • Research fellows and trainees

How do I apply?

If you think you are eligible, you can apply for accommodation by following these steps:

  • Download and complete the application form. If you do not manage to download the file with the usual left-click, right-click on the link and use the option "Save As");
  • Attach a copy of an unconditional offer letter (or a letter confirming your degree status) from your university;
  • Send it back to us by e-mail, fax or post.

What happens next?

  • Eligible applications are acknowledged and directed to the Tenancy Committee - consisting of a group of Trustees and a tenant representative. If approved by the Committee, prospective tenants are placed on our list of candidates eligible for accommodation and are contacted if a suitable property becomes available.

When considering candidates, the Tenancy Committee gives preference to:

  • students applying from abroad
  • applicants from developing countries
  • for family accommodation, families with children under the age of 5
  • applicants on a limited income
  • applicants from countries currently under-represented in Nansen Village

We receive many applications, especially for family accommodation. There is no guarantee that every applicant will eventually be offered accommodation at Nansen Village.
