West Park Villas

Deposit

There is no deposit payable for students at West park.

Houses in Multiple Occupation

These buildings are regulated according to Scottish Housing (HMO) legislation which ensures a high safety and management standard. As part of this, the flats are regularly inspected by the local authority and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Residence Fees are payable according to the University payment guide.

For international students the University of Dundee have partnered with Convera so that students can securely send international wire transfers in their local currency.

Ensuite rooms are brilliant value and are fully furnished with either a standard double bed or a single bed and an en-suite bathroom.  If your offer states Standard room – Double Bed – you will be allocated a room with a double bed. If your offer states single bed you will be allocated a room with a single bed.

The University provides a Wi-Fi service in all bedrooms and kitchen/lounges and there are also network connections in all bedrooms. These services provide full internet and email access plus access to all of the campus computing services, subject of course, to the University's acceptable use policy.

The moving day information for West Park Villas can be found on the University of Dundee website.

Your agreement with the University is for the full period and if you choose to move out before the end of the tenancy, or if your occupancy is terminated as a result of a breach of discipline, you will still be responsible for paying your rent up until the end of your tenancy. However, if a replacement University of Dundee student can be found by you and is approved by the University, they may take over the tenancy. You will need to pay your rent until the replacement tenant has moved in.

TV licence

If you are bringing a TV to watch live TV, or if you receive or record live TV programmes on any other device, such as a laptop, you will need a TV Licence. You won’t be covered by your parents’ licence.

Our TV licences only cover the TVs that we provide, for example in common rooms and lounge areas.

For more information and to buy your licence, visit the TV Licensing website. There are a variety of payment plans available.

The TV licensing authorities recognise that most students do not need the final three months of a TV licence as you leave the accommodation during the summer. You may be able to receive a refund for this period, provided that you don’t need your licence again before it expires.

If you do not have a TV Licence but you receive or record live TV you could face prosecution from the TV Licensing Authority.
