Travel to work

The University provides options for more affordable travel and is committed to supporting and promoting travel by sustainable means. To support your travel choices we provide reduced price on-campus car parking, a Cycle to Work Scheme, annual interest free travel loans and a car share scheme. 

Since the introduction of hybrid ways of working, a number of travel providers have introduced more flexible ticketing options. These may be more affordable for staff only on campus for a few days a week. Visit providers' websites for more information.
