Summer Accommodation

We are pleased to welcome students from across the world to our Summer Schools. Our course fees do not include accommodation or food, and these should be organised by the student. Our campus is located in Glasgow city centre, and you can find the addresses below.

We recommend Base Glasgow, a purpose-built accommodation for full-time Conservatoire students, with Rehearsal Rooms, Practice Spaces and Dance Studios. Base Glasgow is perfectly suited to offer short-term accommodation to our summer school students; both safe and secure, with 24/7 staff presence and only 3 mins walk from our main Renfrew Street building, keeping travel costs to a minimum.

Please note that accommodation at Base Glasgow is highly sought after and limited. Short Courses cannot guarantee that there will be room availability at the time of your course, and we strongly advise that bookings me made as soon as possible.

Classic Studio rooms come with a 3/4 bed, kitchen area with a microwave oven and induction hob, en-suite bathroom, ample storage, mirror, study desk and chair. These are self contained rooms with no shared spaces, and can be booked for either single or dual occupancy.

Please note that Short Courses staff are not affiliated with BASE or on site outwith the summer school teaching hours, and therefore cannot take responsibility for students outside of these hours.

Alternatively, there are plenty of hotels, hostels, and B&B options available. We are located close to transport links should you wish to stay outside the city centre.
