UCA is delighted to announce a new partnership with a vibrant accommodation option just 20 minutes’ walk from campus.

Riverside student accommodation forms part of the city’s new development, the thriving Riverside leisure quarter. Riverside Canterbury sits alongside a number of cafes, bars, restaurants and a Curzon cinema.

In all, UCA has acquired 150 purpose-built en-suite rooms. The rooms are part of a cluster flat of either six or eight bedrooms plus a shared kitchen space.

Each bedroom comes with a single bed, desk with draw, shelves, desk chair, pin board and desk light, two double power sockets with USB charging points, Wi-Fi/Ethernet access point, waste bin, double wardrobe, coat hooks, full length mirror and wall. Each bathroom has a shower, sink, toilet and shaver socket.

The communal kitchens contain all the appliances you need for cooking, cleaning and ironing, together with seating areas for eating and relaxing.

Outside of the flats there’s a communal lounge with TV for movie and game nights, an extra communal kitchen that can be booked out, a study area with booths/desks, and a fitness suite featuring yoga mats, exercise balls and spin bikes.

There’s also a communal courtyard with a games area.

For 2024/25, prices range from £171 to £176 per week depending on length of tenancy. You can only access this discounted rate if you apply through UCA.
