Student accommodation in Belfast

Standing on the banks of the River Lagan, Belfast is a lively, student-friendly city bursting with culture and heritage. The city hosts thousands of students each year, with intake from Queen’s University Belfast, Ulster University, and Belfast Met.

Our Belfast student accommodation options place you at the heart of the city, so you won’t miss a thing. Need a study break? Belfast serves fascinating culture, intriguing history, and vibrant nightlife. Check out our full city guide here. 

Film and TV aficionado? You’ll love the many (many) Game of Thrones location tours—each offering insights into the show’s filming locations. History buff? Ulster Museum is teeming with art, history, and natural science exhibits—all set in stunning botanical gardens.

If you need a dose of nightlife, you’ll find it in Belfast. From traditional pubs to iconic live music venues, there’s always something on. If you’re seeking out fresh new artists, you’ll find them at The Perch. If you’re after an authentically Irish experience, check out McHugh’s—home to traditional Irish sounds. You’ll even find samba at Revolucion de Cuba. (FYI: not as easy as it looks.)

Need your funny bone tickled? Belfast’s thriving comedy scene plays host to up-and-coming comedy talent, as well as more established laugh-merchants.

Belfast is a huge city. (44 square miles, FYI.) As such, it’s divided into four quarters—each with its own unique character. The oldest of these is the Cathedral Quarter, which features authentic cobbled streets, trendy bars, historic pubs, and beer gardens.

If you’re thirsty for all things cultural, head over to The Metropolitan Arts Centre (MAC), which features two theatres and three art galleries—each boasting stacked programmes of performances and exhibitions. You’ll also find independent cinemas offering specially curated films and cultural evenings.

Know your boxty* from your Belfast bap? You will. Belfast is packed with restaurants of all types—from traditional Irish pubs to contemporary bistros and cosy family-run restaurants. Whatever your budget, you’ll find eats to suit.
(*FYI a boxty is a potato pancake made with grated and mashed potato, flour, buttermilk, and baking soda, aka the signature dish at Holohan’s Pantry.)
