FAQs

Our University Park campus is approximately 20 minutes away from Nottingham train station.

There will be a free shuttle bus taking students directly to the University from the train station. This will run between 8am-5.30pm, and will be departing at regular intervals throughout the day. -The bus stops closest to the train station are Broadmarsh bus station (for Trent Barton’s Indigo services) or Canal Street (for Nottingham City Transport’s 13 and 14 services). Both Broadmarsh and Canal Street are very close to the train station itself.

You may wish to take a taxi rather than a bus. However, avoid rogue and unlicensed taxi drivers - Nottingham City Council licenses two types of vehicles - Hackney Carriages and Private Hire vehicles. If you get into a Private Hire car without pre-booking it (that is - you stop it or find it in the street) you may not be covered by insurance. Private Hire drivers call this 'flying' and they know they are breaking the law. If you are involved in an accident you will experience difficulty in claiming for any damage or injuries. For more information, please visit our Community web pages.

As soon as you complete a booking, you will receive an automated confirmation email.  We will then send you an information pack with all of the information you will need for the day. This will arrive approximately 3 weeks before you are due to visit

If you wish to change the date of your visit or a talk time, please contact the Enquiry Centre. We will be able to make this change for you providing spaces are available.

You will need to bring your confirmation letter with you on the day if you have booked onto additional talks. Unfortunately, if you don't bring your letter we cannot guarantee you entry to these talks as they are very popular. 

You are more than welcome to bring friends or family members with you. The booking form allows for yourself and two other guests. For our most popular talks, it may only be possible for one guest to attend in addition to the student. However wherever possible we will try and accommodate everyone if logically possible

Once we have reached full capacity, we cannot allow anyone else to attend unfortunately due to health and safety reasons. However, there are a number of other ways you can visit the University so please do not worry.

We have campus tour days, and these are very similar to an open day but just on a smaller scale. You will be able to attend a couple of talks and visit your department of interest, as well as having a tour of the campus itself and seeing accommodation. You will need to book for this day also, and can do so by following the link below:

The dates for these are Wednesday 17 April and Wednesday 14 August 2013.

You are more than welcome to come and visit the campus at any time and to have a look around at your own accord. If you would like to meet staff however, it is advised that you contact them in advance to make sure that someone will be available to speak to you. Contact details for them are included in the link below:

You will be able to pick up a self-guided tour booklet upon arrival at our Trent reception, which is located in the Trent Building. Please see the following map to help yourself get a little familiar with our campus:

We also have extra events entitled ‘Welcome Wednesdays’, and details about this can be found in the following link below:

For visitors interested in arts, law and social sciences subjects please use the West Entrance. For visitors interested in science, engineering, medicine and health science subjects please use the North Entrance

We have free Hopper buses which will take guests between campuses. The majority of talks will be taking place at University Park, but some talks and activities will be taking place at our other campuses. If you have booked to attend our Vet School activities, you will need to go to our Sutton Bonington campus
