Getting around

We think the best way to get around our campus is on foot – there’s so much to take in and it enables you to really get a feel for our beautiful green surroundings.

Our campus is big so don’t forget to take walking between buildings into account when planning your day!

We’ve estimated how long it will take you to get to the main buildings on campus from the West Park Teaching Hub (11), closest to the main car park.

Campus shuttle

You can also hop on and off the buses as often as you like – they are free to use throughout the day. All the buses have a drop-floor and are accessible for wheelchair users and prams.

The bus service has plenty of drop off points across campus, including to and from car parks.
