Accommodation Information

While we do not have UWS-managed student accommodation in London, there are many private rental options for students seeking accommodation. Private accommodation is let out and managed by private landlords or state agents, which can be confusing, especially amongst international students trying to book it from abroad.

There are purpose-built student accommodation options; private room rentals inside a shared house or flat; private flats or studios; or host family accommodation if you are looking for a more enriching cultural exchange.

The University of the West of Scotland’s London campus has partnered with two student accommodation booking platforms to offer quality housing with easy access to the campus. All accommodation options provided by our partners have been inspected and approved by our staff, ensuring credibility and peace of mind when booking your stay in London.

Amber and Studentpad accommodation officers are available to help you choose the right option, so don’t hesitate to contact them at any time.
