There will be a limited number of rooms on campus for Postgraduate students beginning in January. Please note that the number of rooms is finite and there is no guarantee that an application will be successful.

We do not offer any short term/ temporary or family accommodation on campus. Please see our off-campus living page for guidance in finding alternative accommodation in Edinburgh.

All overseas students applying, please email your visa to halls@hw.ac.uk so we can continue to process your accommodation application.
