Students and the TV Licence

If you bring a television or intend to watch TV on any mobile device connected to a power socket, you must buy a TV licence. The cost of a TV licence is not included in your accommodation fees. Failure to purchase a licence may result in prosecution or a fine.

With a licence you can stay connected to your favourite shows – and feel more connected to your family and friends watching too. You can enjoy:

400+ TV channels as they’re being broadcast

  • All the free-to-view channels like ITV, Channel 4, Dave and Sky One.
  • Live TV that you watch on any satellite packages or streaming services you might pay for, like Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video and Now TV.
  • Plus, everything on BBC iPlayer.

And you can watch it all on any device.
