Partnership with BROOKES University
This year, we established a partnership with the renowned Brookes University, which offers accommodation for
our students on some of its campuses. In 2024/2025, around twenty students had the opportunity to live in the
Clive Booth Student Village, allowing for an even deeper immersion in a prestigious academic environment.
For the 2025/2026 academic year, 85 rooms have been reserved for EM Normandie students on the Harcourt Hill campus. This option offers multiple benefits, including access to a high-quality, recently renovated and affordable accommodation within a well-regarded university campus.
To learn more about this opportunity, please contact Emmanuelle, the Student Life Officer for the campus, at the following address: accommodation@em-normandie.co.uk.
