By car
Parking in Nottingham City Centre is very limited. It is recommended that students travelling by car use park and ride services together with the discounted ticket options provided by Nottingham City Transport and NET If you live outside of Nottingham city centre and plan to travel to the City Campus by car, we recommend using the city’s Park and Ride services, as parking in the city centre can quickly become expensive.
We recommend that you use one of the following Park and Ride sites:
You must purchase a valid ticket to park. The car parks are monitored and you may get fined if you do not meet the terms and conditions of the site.
Blue badge holders
There are accessible parking spaces available to blue badge holders on the City Campus. All of our accessible parking spaces can be found on our City Campus map.
Please contact the car parking team to request accessible parking access for all campuses to be added to your student card.
By foot
Walking or running is one of the best ways to stay healthy whilst travelling to campus. NTU has created a traffic free heart of campus at the three main campuses and works with the local authorities to continually improve public facilities. Information on local walks from campus, mostly in green spaces, can be found on the sustainability web pages, which can improve the health and wellbeing of students.
