Information for University Centre students

We understand both the challenges and freedoms of living away from home. We have an on-site concierge team that works hard to create the right environment for you to enjoy your time at university. Because we're perfectly placed in the centre of Shrewsbury, just a stones throw away from the main UCS Guildhall campus, you can be right at the heart of your university.

Thinking of joining UCS?

If you're thinking of joining UCS, our partners at UCS offer a range of courses, facilities, open days and student support, details of which you'll find on their website.

Currently a student at UCS?

We've pulled together a collection of useful information regarding our accommodation (see related documents over to the right of this page); if after reading this you would like to discuss any aspect of our accommodation service and facilities please contact one of our student accommodation concierges at concierge.helpdesk@shropshire.gov.uk

Student room insurance

We've arranged some contents insurance for you with Endsleigh, the leading student insurance provider. It's important to find out exactly what you're covered for as you may find that the contents cover is not sufficient and you need to extend it to protect all of your possessions, both inside and outside your room. Laptops, tablets and phones, for instance, aren't covered for accidental damage or outside your room, so you may wish to consider taking out additional cover to protect your essential gadgets and other possessions.

Please follow the steps below to ensure you fully understand the protection provided.

Enter your policy number HH1467 on the Endsleigh website to check:

  • What's covered
  • Key exclusions and limitations
  • Your policy excess
  • How to make a claim, extend and personalise your cover

You'll find further useful information and policies attached to this page, and via our FAQ page.

Information for Shrewsbury College students

We understand both the challenges and freedoms of living away from home for the first time.

Information for other students

We understand both the challenges and freedoms of studying and living away from home, so our on-site concierge team works hard to create the right environment for you to enjoy your time studying in Shrewsbury. We offer accommodation to a range of student visitors, so if you're interested please contact concierge.helpdesk@shropshire.gov.uk

If you're a visiting student staying with us, or looking to stay with us, take a look at the information elsewhere on our pages to find out more. If you need any additional information please email us: concierge.helpdesk@shropshire.gov.uk

We also recognise that some students prefer to live in private accommodation so to give you peace of mind over the standards and quality of this type of accommodation we offer a Landlord Accreditation Scheme, where landlords sign up and agree to offer students an approved accommodation and facilities (for example a dedicated desk).
