Accommodation for Study Abroad students

There are a variety of housing options available at UAL so Study Abroad student applicants have the opportunity to choose somewhere that suits both their budget and lifestyle.

UAL halls of residence

Study Abroad students will be guaranteed a place in University halls if they apply by the Study Abroad application deadline.

UAL’s self-catered halls of residence can be found across London. The majority of rooms have a shower and toilet attached to the room and others have access to a shared shower and a toilet; you will also have access to a shared kitchen.

Students studying for a full year can apply for any of the University’s hall of residence.

Students coming to UAL for 1 – 2 terms/semester can apply to either The Costume Store or Will Wyatt Court.

Students on 3-week Summer Study Abroad programmes can apply to stay at Cordwainers Court, Will Wyatt Court, Sketch House and Gardens House. This does not apply to London College of Fashion summer schools.

Students on a London College of Fashion Summer School programme are advised to contact the Study Abroad team for assistance with finding accommodation.

Further information

Student security and well-being is a top priority in UAL accommodation. All of the University’s residences include the following security features:

• CCTV inside and outside the building
• Secure entry using a fob or card
• Staff available and contactable 24 hours a day

If you are offered a place in halls, you will need to sign a tenancy agreement. This is a binding legal contract that covers the length of your stay. Where possible, Study Abroad students can sign a shorter tenancy agreement. These short-term tenancies are more expensive than the standard full-length tenancies.
