University of Dundee residences cost from £179.48 a week at West Park Villas to £239.05 for a premier room at City Campus Flats for the September 2026 session. All are on 39-week contracts running 12 September 2026 to 12 June 2027. The university says it offers an Accommodation Guarantee Offer to eligible first-year full-time students who apply by its deadline. This guide covers rents by residence, the guarantee conditions and what to check before you book.
Prices on this page come from the University of Dundee’s accommodation fees page for the September 2026 session. The guarantee page does not list deadline dates, so check the university’s application guide for the current year.
University of Dundee residences and rents (September 2026)
The university’s accommodation fees page lists these weekly prices, with bills included in the “from” price the university advertises:
| Residence | Room type | Weekly price | Contract |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Park Villas | Not specified | £179.48 | 39 weeks |
| West Park Flats | Standard room | £206.57 | 39 weeks |

The university’s accommodation page describes City Campus, Seabraes (about a five-minute walk from City Campus) and West Park (between the City and Ninewells campuses). It advertises flexible 39 to 51-week contracts. The fees page also lists longer or shorter contracts for particular groups: 50 weeks for postgraduates at City Campus Flats, 44 weeks for nursing students at Seabraes, and 17 or 22-week semester contracts for exchange students. For those, the cost is the weekly price multiplied by the number of weeks.
Accommodation guarantee
The university’s Accommodation Guarantee Offer applies if:
- you are accepted on a programme the university advertises as full-time, and you are a first-year undergraduate or postgraduate student;
- the academic year you start must be your first year of study at the University of Dundee;
- you apply for accommodation online by the deadline on the university’s website, and the university can verify your application;
- you accept the offer, which is normally open for seven days from issue, including paying any advance rent that applies.
Clearing entrants are allocated rooms subject to availability under a separate deadline, and the offer covers individual applicants, not dependants. The page was last updated in December 2024 and says deadlines are published annually, so use the university’s apply for accommodation guide for the dates that apply to you.
Private and shared options
Private purpose-built blocks and shared flats are the usual choices from second year, and prices vary by provider. I could not verify current prices for individual private buildings, so compare each provider’s total cost, bills and contract length. Our guide to university halls versus private student housing explains the differences. If you are studying at Abertay University, check its own accommodation pages, as the prices above apply to the University of Dundee only.
What to check before you book
- Contract length and the total cost, which is the weekly price multiplied by the weeks.
- Which campus your course is based on, and how far the residence is from it.
- Standard or premier room, because the price gap is about £7 a week at the same site.
- Whether bills are included in the price you are quoted.
- Safety basics. See our student accommodation safety guide and checklist.
