City Campus
If you’re travelling to Nottingham by car, we recommend you use the city's park and ride services, as parking in the centre can quickly become expensive and there is no on-campus parking provision. We recommend that you use one of the following sites and board any tram serving Toton Lane or Clifton South:
- The Forest (NG7 6AQ) – journey time: approximately 5 minutes to the Nottingham Trent University stop
- Wilkinson Street (NG7 7NW) – journey time: approximately 10 minutes to the Nottingham Trent University stop
- Phoenix Park (NG8 6AS) – journey time: approximately 20 minutes to the Nottingham Trent University stop.
Make sure you buy a ticket before you board the tram and alight at the Nottingham Trent University stop. It is now mandatory to wear a face covering on public transport. Visit the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) website for more information on the city’s Park and Ride services.
Visit the Nottingham City Council website for more information on parking in Nottingham city centre.
If you’re planning on travelling by train, timetable information is available from National Rail. Nottingham Station is a short walk from the city centre but our City Campus can also be reached by tram – follow the signs from your platform, and head north on the Phoenix Park or Hucknall lines.
Clifton Campus
The postcode for our Clifton Campus is NG11 8NS and parking is available on-site. Please enter through the main entrance (North Gate), where you’ll find the visitor car park to the right after the entry barrier.
Brackenhurst Campus
Brackenhurst is located roughly 14 miles north-east of Nottingham city centre and the postcode is NG25 0QF. There are plenty of parking spaces available on-site outside the Bramley building.
