We’ve put together these arrival instructions to aid your journey to campus.

The main arrival period for students living on campus is Thursday 19 to Sunday 22 September 2024. During these dates we will be operating a dedicated Arrivals Hub allowing you to collect the key to your campus residence, along with your University ID card if you do not already have one.

Please note, there are a separate set of instructions if you are planning to arrive after 22 September 2024.

Our Arrivals Hub operates on the following dates and times:

Thursday 19 September 10:00am to Friday 20 September 03:00am

Friday 20 September 8:00am to Saturday 21 September 03:00am

Sunday 22 September 8:00am to Monday 23 September 03:00am

Arriving by car

Thousands of students will be moving onto campus during these few days so to minimise traffic congestion and long delays on campus over the main arrivals period, we’ve put together these instructions you must adhere to.

How to access campus


Arriving by bus

Buses will stop at the Kirby Corner Road bus stop and/or the Bus Interchange on Central Campus. The Kirby Corner Road bus stop is within walking distance (approximately 3 minutes) to the Arrivals Hub at Kirby Corner multi-storey car park and University House.


Arriving by taxi


Arriving out of hours

Our Arrivals Hub will operate from the ground floor of Kirby Corner multi-storey car park up until 18:00 each day of the main arrival period.

If you are arriving after 18:00, our Arrivals Hub moves inside to the ground floor of University House (the adjacent building to Kirby Corner Car Park).

If you are planning on arriving between 03:00 and 08:00, you will need to contact at least 48 hours prior to your arrival so that alternative arrangements can be made to collect your key.

Arriving before 19 September 2024

We are not able to provide accommodation prior to 19 September 2024. If you need to arrive before 19 September and need somewhere to live until your contract starts, there are some short term accommodation options that you may find have booking availability.
