Our residences comprise 16 secure, comfortable and fully-furnished flats. Each flat has its own kitchen, dining/living area and a number of either single or twin bedrooms.

You can request one of three types of bedroom:

Single rooms

These are 12.5 square metres and are equipped with a single bed, bedroom furniture and storage, a study desk and an en-suite toilet and shower room.

Twin rooms

Twin rooms are 20.5 square metres and have two single beds. Two students in each room will share the en-suite toilet/shower facilities.

Specially adapted rooms 

There are a limited number of bedrooms adapted for access by students with physical disabilities. They are classified as single rooms. Please let us know in your application form if you require one of them.

Period of let

You must agree to a period of let for the full academic year, which at Perth College UHI is two semesters, as shown in the table below.  You are financially liable for the full period of the let.

Charges for 2012-13

Single rooms and specially adapted rooms: £99 per week
Twin rooms: £77 per person per week

Costs

UK Government Funded Students

Charges include all utility costs. We also provide a free, filtered Ethernet/Wi-Fi internet connection through the College's network for educational purposes. Annual costs in the table above are based on weekly rates times duration.

You should budget separately for food and other living expenses. For details about our commitment to an environmentally responsible campus, see Keeping it green.

Deposit

A deposit of £250 must be paid in advance during the application process. This will be refunded at the end of your stay, less any charges incurred for damage. 

Payment plans

If your tuition fees are paid by the UK Government, you pay for accommodation by monthly standing order.

All other international students pay for the full year’s accommodation in advance.

Parking charges

If you keep a vehicle on our campus then you will have to pay for parking, unless you have a blue badge parking permit.

If you want to get a permit for longer periods, your options are to buy a full permit between August and Christmas for £112, or buy a half permit between January and June for £56.

Conditions are that: you have to pay the full price in one go; half permits only go on sale in January; and you won’t get a refund if you leave your course early.

If you’d prefer to pay for shorter periods, you can buy a ticket each day (70p for a full day, 40p for two hours) from the machines in the car park.

You can also buy scratchcards from our reception or canteen.
