Applying for UCL Accommodation
The application deadlines are in June, and we make offers between April and the end of August. First Year students are prioritised for UCL Accommodation, which means that they are offered spaces in UCL Accommodation ahead of returning students. During the academic year 2024-25, all applicants who met the eligibility criteria were allocated a place in UCL Accommodation.
Alternative accommodation
If you are not eligible for UCL Accommodation or if this timeline is not appropriate for you, we would recommend that you look into alternative accommodation options to secure housing as early as possible. The housing marketing in London is extremely competitive and demand will increase as it gets closer to the start of term.
Eligibility Criteria: 2025-26
If you are an undergraduate student, you are prioritised for a place in UCL Accommodation if:
- you are a full-time, first-year student
- you have accepted UCL as your firm choice by 10 June
- you have not previously lived or studied at a Higher Education Institution in Greater London (inside the M25 motorway)
- you apply for single room person accommodation by 10 June
If you are a postgraduate student, you will be prioritised for a place in UCL Accommodation if:
- you are a first-year, full-time international student
- you have firmly accepted an offer to study at UCL, conditional or unconditional, by 30 June
- you have not previously lived or studied at a Higher Education Institution in Greater London (inside the M25 motorway)
- you apply for single room person accommodation by 30 June
*Please note that UCL Accommodation welcomes and supports applications from students with additional requirements. We recommend that you first review the information available for students with additional requirements and contact the Accommodation Team by email accommodation@ucl.ac.uk to discuss any queries you may have about your individual needs and how to apply.
Enhance your first year
Wherever you may be allocated a place in the Halls, you will join an international community of residents that you share a home within London. It is this community that can enhance your first year, provide you with support and introduce you to new friends from other courses.
At UCL, we want to provide you with a home away from home, where you will feel comfortable and supported. Our Halls have everything you need to get your head down and study, as well as to relax during your downtime with our Res-Life programme, Flourish.
