IKEA student discount

IKEA is the place to go if you want to kit out your student room, or just munch on some ridiculously cheap meatballs and hotdogs.

It is unlikely that you will find an IKEA within walking distance of your university but you may be able to find out if there is a planned bus ride to an IKEA store from your union or even pay for a mate's petrol.

There is no specific IKEA student discount available year-round but it often has student-specific promotions, especially around the start of term when students are buying things for university. We’ve seen discounts like £10 off a £75 spend offered via UNiDAYS in the past. Check the website for current offers.

All IKEA products are affordable for most students, so perfect to finish off decorating your room or even replace something that you have broken!

IKEA product examples

IKEA stocks pretty much everything you could need, from pots and pans to bedding, rugs, lighting, furniture and even food… you’ve got to try the meatballs! You’ll find a wide range available online and in-store.
