Does Nuki Offer Student Discounts?
No. As of 2026, Nuki has no student discount program, no educational pricing tier, and no partnership with any student discount platform (UniDays, StudentBeans, Student Beans, ISIC, etc.).
We've contacted Nuki directly to confirm this. Their response: smart locks are priced identically for all consumers, and there are no plans for student-specific pricing.
Some websites claim to have Nuki student discount codes — these are fake. They redirect you to the regular nuki.io store or to expired promotions. Don't waste your time.
Best Alternatives for Students
The best year-round option is the 10% referral discount, which works for everyone — not just students. On a Smart Lock Pro (€269), that saves you €26.90, bringing the price to €242.10. No student ID required.
If you can wait for Black Friday (late November), discounts reach 15-25% on bundles. That's the absolute lowest price Nuki products hit. A Smart Lock Pro during Black Friday 2025 was €215.
Consider starting with a bundle instead of a standalone lock. The Smart Lock + Door Sensor starter kit offers better value per euro than buying the lock alone, and the Door Sensor enables auto-lock — a feature you'll use daily in a shared student flat.
Other Smart Lock Student Deals
You might wonder if competitors offer student discounts. For euro-cylinder smart locks (the type that works in European doors), the answer is essentially no. Yale, Tedee, and Loqed don't have student pricing either.
The US market has some student deals on smart locks (August, Schlage), but these use different lock standards that don't fit European doors. Don't be tempted by deals that won't work with your apartment.
For the European market, Nuki with the 10% referral code is the most affordable quality option. The Tedee GO (€199) is cheaper, but you'll need to add a bridge (€79) for remote access, making the total comparable.
How to Save as a Student
Here's our recommended strategy: use the 10% referral code and buy the smallest setup that meets your needs. For most students, that's the Smart Lock Pro alone (€242.10 after referral). You can always add a Keypad or Door Sensor later.
If you share an apartment, pitch the cost split to your flatmates. A €242 smart lock split 3 ways is €81 per person — roughly the cost of replacing lost keys once. Everyone gets app access for free.
Check if your student housing provider has any smart lock partnerships. Some larger housing corporations in the Netherlands and Germany have negotiated bulk pricing with Nuki for new builds.
