Accommodation at SRUC King’s Buildings, Edinburgh

General information

In recent years many providers have established residences across the city. Students can apply for accommodation at any time, and you don't need to wait until you have a confirmed place at SRUC. The application process is online via the providers own website: 

• Unite
• iQ student accommodation
• New Park, Downing Students
• CRM
• Yugo
• Fresh Student Living
• The Nido Collection
• My Student Halls
• Accommodation for Students
• Homes for Students

Travel to our King's Buildings campus from all of the accommodation locations is straightforward as all are centrally located and buses in Edinburgh are regular and reliable. The properties offer rooms with shared bathrooms, en-suite rooms and studios. Included in the price are all utility bills, in-room internet access, and basic contents insurance.

Alternatively, many students choose to rent accommodation within the city's private rental sector. Edinburgh has a large student population and a large rental market, so finding a room to rent as part of a flat-share, or even a flat to rent alone, is rarely a problem.

If you have your own transport, you can also book nightly accommodation at SRUC's Oatridge Campus which is a 45 minute drive from SRUC Edinburgh.

The Education Office is able to provide further advice on finding accommodation and holds a list of students looking for accommodation to help group individuals together allowing you to look for whole flats to rent as well as individual rooms.

Accommodation details are sent to all students receiving an offer.

Please also take a look at our Facebook group which has been created for this purpose.
