Not from the UK?

The University of Edinburgh provides accommodation for students who are studying a pre-sessional English course.

Applications are now closed. If you require any alterations contact Allocations via accom.eap@ed.ac.uk

Please note: If you choose NOT to stay in University of Edinburgh accommodation for your pre-sessional course, then you are not guaranteed accommodation for term time. This is because we facilitate in-house pre-sessional students moving before term time dates begin and cannot do so if you choose not to live with us for your pre-sessional course.

All available rooms have shared bathroom/kitchen facilities.  Single rooms cost £189 per week, and Twin rooms cost £102 per week.  No alternative sites/room types are available.  As you are a pre-sessional student, you will be provided with a bedding pack on arrival, this consists of a duvet, pillow, fitted sheet, pillow case and duvet cover.

Sites for pre-sessional English students (subject to availability) are:

• Kitchener House
• David Horn
• Nicolson St & South College St
• Riego Street
• Sciennes

Full payment at the time of acceptance is required for all pre-sessional accommodation.

Please check the “Property Features” of your offered accommodation to see what is provided: this will help you plan what you need to bring with you or buy yourself.
