Uniplaces is open to a wide range of people — not just full-time university students. If you’re moving to a new city for study, an internship or work, you can book on the platform.
Who is eligible to book?
Uniplaces was built for students and young professionals relocating to a new city for a short or medium-term stay. The following groups can all book on the platform:
- University students — including Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD students
- Erasmus participants — one of the most active groups booking on Uniplaces across Europe
- Interns — whether your internship is 3 months or a full year
- Young professionals — people moving to a new city for work, remote work or a career change
There is no age limit to book on Uniplaces. As long as you are moving to a new city for study, training or work, you are eligible.
Do I need to be enrolled in university?
No — you do not need to be a university student to book on Uniplaces. Interns, young professionals and remote workers can all use the platform.
That said, some individual listings are restricted to students only. If a landlord has set their listing as student-only, you will see this clearly on the listing page before you book. If you are unsure whether a specific property is open to you, contact the Uniplaces support team before sending a booking request.
Age requirements
Uniplaces does not set a minimum age requirement at the platform level. However, you must be able to enter into a legal rental agreement, which in most European countries means being at least 18 years old.
If you are under 18, we recommend contacting the support team directly before booking to understand what documentation may be required.
International students — booking from abroad
One of the most common use cases on Uniplaces is international students booking accommodation before they arrive in a new country. The entire process is online — you do not need to visit the property in person before booking.
This is particularly useful for Erasmus students heading to cities like Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan or Berlin, where demand for student housing is high and good listings go quickly. Booking in advance through Uniplaces means your accommodation is secured before you land.
If you need a proof of accommodation document for a student visa application, Uniplaces provides this once your booking is confirmed.
