How booking works

Most student accommodation in Dundee is run by private providers. You book and contract directly with the provider, not the University. For some accommodation, we've arranged a preferential rate for Abertay students. Where that applies, we say so below.

Parker House: Abertay rate available

Parker Street, DD1 5RW

Parker House is in the heart of Dundee, just a five-minute walk from campus. It’s managed by iQ Student Accommodation, one of the UK’s largest student housing providers. We’ve negotiated a limited number of rooms at a preferential rate for Abertay students, which is below iQ’s standard published price.

All rooms are self-contained with an en suite bathroom. The difference between tiers is room size and finish. Every tier includes all bills, wifi and access to the same communal facilities.

All flats have shared kitchens and are mixed female and male - there are no single sex flats in Parker House.

 

Facilities at Parker House

  • Communal lounge and social space

  • Dedicated study rooms

  • On-site laundry (pay-as-you-go)

  • Secure bike storage

  • 24/7 on-site team and CCTV

  • Parcel collection service

How to book (and how the preferential rate at Parker House works)

We’ve negotiated a limited allocation of rooms at Parker House at a reduced rate for Abertay students. Here’s how it works: 

  1. Apply through a dedicated link for Abertay students when booking opens. We’ll email you a direct link (typically in Spring).

  2. Rooms are allocated first-come, first-served within our allocation.

  3. Once our allocation is filled, you can still book at Parker House directly through iQ’s website at their standard rate — same rooms, same building, same all-bills-included package.

There’s no difference in the room or service between our rate and iQ’s standard rate.
