Postgraduate life at iQ

Looking for postgraduate accommodation, but not sure where to start? You’ve come to the right place. 

Whatever your reason is for getting a postgrad degree, you’ll soon realise that postgrad study is a little bit different to your undergrad. With that change, you might feel differently about your living situation.

Even though the work might be more demanding, finding your student accommodation shouldn’t be. Here's what you can expect as a postgraduate student.

All in one place

Bills. We all love them. At iQ, we include bills as part of your fixed rent so you've got one less thing to worry about.

Forget the stress of private rental and tallying up your electric, water, and internet costs with a group of other students. The important things are included so postgrad life's straightforward for you. 

The iQ app makes things even easier. Log maintenance requests, pay rent, check when washing machines are free and be notified when your parcels are ready for collection - all at the click of a button. 

Location, location, location

Postgraduate life might mean more hours in lectures and studying. Saving time on food shops and commutes will become increasingly important.

Our sites are in great locations, with close transport links and uni often just a walk away. With most in city-centre locations, your morning coffee or weekly shop is just around the corner. Make sure to check out the interactive map on each property page to show you where you can get your nearest caffeine fix.

Plenty of choice

Are you over the social buzz of a shared kitchen? Maybe you want a private space of your own in a studio or apartment. Or maybe you wanna keep up the good vibes and stick with an en suite room with a shared kitchen. 

At iQ, you can browse through room choices easily and see who has already booked into a shared flat. If you’re worried about noise, you can get in touch with the site team to ask where the quietest area of the building is too.

Solo living

Considering living by yourself? A studio apartment, which offers all you need in one self-contained space, is most likely your best bet, and a very popular choice with our postgraduate residents. Take a look in more detail at what you can expect from living in a studio apartment.

Don’t worry, living in a studio won’t mean missing out on student life. Onsite gyms, cinemas and gaming rooms can be found across iQ properties, giving you plenty of opportunities to socialise. Many of our sites even have spaces for dancing, painting, and music.

Viewings

Whichever type of room appeals to you most, we can help you with viewing any property in person. If you are coming from overseas, virtual viewings and live tours of rooms and social areas are available too. Find out more about virtual viewings.

iQ Life

We know you’ll be busy, but we’ve got you covered when you need a break too. Our iQ Clubs offer free books and foodie content, and you can meet your floormates before you even arrive via our Facebook Resident Groups.

If you prefer to keep your social life separate to your living situation, that’s fine too. Just like undergrad study, there will be university clubs and societies to get involved with. You can stay as connected (or disconnected) as you like.

From social events and giveaways to exclusive partner benefits, check out what’s available to you as a resident with iQ Life. You’ll also find links to our social media communities on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Weibo and WeChat.
