Booking your accommodation

It’s important to arrange your accommodation before arriving in the UK. This helps ensure a smooth immigration and registration process, and gives you peace of mind knowing where you’ll stay.

If you are under 18 we strongly recommend arranging accommodation via Amber Student which is our trusted accommodation provider.

You’ll receive an invitation to apply for accommodation once you confirm your place. If you request accommodation during your application, the Central Student Support team will provide next steps including a link to apply directly via Amber.

Once you apply, Amber’s bookings team will guide you through the booking process and answer any questions.

Important Information:

• The Accommodation Commitment applies to courses starting in September and October 2025 only.
• Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
• Some students may be prioritised, including those under 18 or with specific medical needs. Certain accommodation types may be reserved for under-18s.
• Students do not need their CAS or study visa to be part of the accommodation commitment or to start the booking process.

Arranging your own accommodation independently

If you wish to arrange your own accommodation instead, private rooms, flats and houses are available in and around Glasgow. If you are booking your own accommodation independently, it is important that you let us know where you are staying and that you are living less than a 60-minute commute away from University of Strathclyde International Study Centre.

Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
