Car park locations

University car parks and information about the permit types valid for use in them.

The University manages in excess of 30 car parks spread across five different sites. In order to park in a University car park you must purchase a valid permit. There are a variety of different permit types available and the type determines the car parks you may park in.

All University car parks have appropriate signage at the entrances to confirm it is a University parking area. Information on car park locations and the required permit types is available below:

Important notice
