By car

We strongly recommend travelling to one of the Park and Ride sites located nearby and using the tram services available to travel to University Park Campus (see Park and Ride information below). The university is easy to reach using the Nottingham Tram Network and this will help you avoid traffic congestion.

If you prefer to travel to campus by car, please allow plenty of extra time to travel as there are likely to be long queues when entering and exiting the site.
