To provide assurance of accommodation availability, we have introduced an Accommodation Commitment so students can feel confident about securing a room.
To receive a room offer, follow these simple steps:

If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the University of Huddersfield International Study Centre Central Student Support Team who are available for any help or advice you may need.
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.
Submit your Acceptance Form and make any required payments by 25 July 2025 (5pm UK time).
Use the instructions from your Centre or College to apply by 4 August 2025 (5pm UK time).
Once you receive a room offer, complete the application process within the given deadlines to confirm your booking.
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.
Look out for fraud
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
Arranging your own accommodation independently
If you wish to arrange your own accommodation instead, private rooms, flats and houses are available in and around Huddersfield. If you are booking your own accommodation independently it is important that you let us know where you are staying. We strongly advise you are staying in the Huddersfield area, nearby to the University campus International Study Centre to keep your studies on track - our suggested areas are within the postcodes HD1-5.
Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
