University accommodation in Bournemouth
Sun, sea and student housing – Bournemouth has it all. This coastal town is a stomping ground for holidaymakers and students alike, boasting seven miles of golden sand and an electric nightlife. Whether you’re enjoying a chilled Sunday at the Oceanarium or grabbing a drink at Chaplin’s, you’ll be spoilt for choice in this vibrant student hub.
You’ll find excellent student accommodation in Bournemouth with Unite Students that’s centrally located near the hottest spots of the South Coast. Our student halls are nestled in the city centre, just a stone’s throw from convenient transport links, so you can get to and from classes with ease.
Leave your Bournemouth student accommodation and take a short stroll to one of the city’s blue flag beaches. Or visit the pedestrianised town centre, home to independent boutiques, restaurants, bars, and live music venues.

Ways to pay
You can secure a booking for your Bournemouth student accommodation through:
- Direct debit
- Credit or debit card
- UnionPay (for international students)
When you make your booking, you can pay in full or multiple instalments. All Unite Student properties are available with bills included, so you won’t have to worry about any unexpected additional costs.
All renters are required to have a guarantor. This is someone over 25-years-old – such as a parent or carer – who can guarantee payments will be maintained if you’re unable to pay your rent on time.
While a deposit isn’t needed, an advance rent payment may be required. This is a fraction of the full-year amount, and we’ll put this towards your first rent instalment.

When should I book student accommodation in Bournemouth?
You can apply for student accommodation in Bournemouth from the first week in November for the following academic year. Bournemouth is a popular student destination, and there is only one Unite Students property in the city, so it’s best to book as soon as possible.
Be aware that universities often have deadlines for applying ahead of your course start day, so don’t leave it until the last minute. Applying early also means you can lock in the price with no unexpected rises in costs.
Booking Bournemouth student accommodation through clearing
If you’re applying for university through clearing, there’s no need to panic. Most universities will keep rooms available for clearing students. That means we may still have some Bournemouth university accommodation available.
Even if there are no rooms up for grabs, there’s the option to join the waiting list. And if you don’t get your place, you can always cancel for free with our No Place, No Pay policy.
