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, you must arrange accommodation through the Centre. Certain accommodation types may be reserved specifically for under-18s.

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 up-to-date details on available options, fees, and next steps.

We recommend applying as early as possible. While accommodation is still available, it is allocated on a first come, first served basis. Applying early increases your chances of securing your preferred room type.

Accommodation Commitment for September 2025

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:

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.

Arrange your room

If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the Durham ISC Central Student Support Team who are available for any help or advice you may need.

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 privately

Alternatively, you can arrange private accommodation independently (over 18s only).  We recommend for the best student experience and to be able to fully engage with your studies that you live in Stockton-on-Tees or close-by.

It is important that you let us know where you are staying and there is a requirement that you live less than 60 minutes away from the International Study Centre at Queen’s Campus.

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