Getting to NTU

Located in the heart of Nottingham city centre, our City Campus couldn’t be any more conveniently located. Our Newton building is a key feature in the city’s skyline, and from there you can walk to both the market square and the Victoria Centre, Nottingham’s main shopping hub, in less than five minutes.

By car

If you are travelling by car, we recommend you use the city's park and ride services and continue your journey by tram, as parking in the centre can quickly become expensive. 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.
• Wilkinson Street (NG7 7NW) – journey time: approximately 10 minutes.
• Phoenix Park (NG8 6AS) – journey time: approximately 20 minutes.

Make sure you buy a ticket before you board the tram to avoid penalty fares and alight at the Nottingham Trent University stop.

Visit the Nottingham Express Transit (NET) site for more information.
