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:
Students starting in September can apply to live in Cardiff University accommodation. Most options are a short walk from the University and the city centre. There is a range of shared flats in different areas of the city. 70% of bedrooms have their own en-suite facilities.
All rooms in University residences have a bed, desk, chair, wardrobe, and wifi. Some also have meal plans. You will share a kitchen/dining area, and can apply for an ensuite bathroom if you wish. For more information and prices of University residences, visit University residences*.
*To apply please follow the instructions that will be sent to you by the Central Student Support team after you confirm your place on your course.
Our accommodation is now available to book. Act fast to increase your chances of priority room allocation.
If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the Cardiff University International Study Centre Central Student Support Team who are available for any help or advice you may need.

Important Information:
If you prefer to arrange your own accommodation, there are private rooms, flats, and houses available in and around Cardiff. You have two options:
Amber
Arrange independently
Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
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.
