Self-guided campus tours

Follow our self-guided walking tours for a taste of the University, the city and student life.

We offer self-guided tours of the Central Campus and King's Buildings. 

The audio tour allows you to explore our beautiful campuses at your own pace, at a time that suits you. The app is free to download and is compatible with most iOS and Android devices – all you need is a smartphone or tablet. Prior to downloading please read the privacy policy further down on this page.

If you want to explore a little more we also have two detailed self-guided tour leaflets: one for the Central Campus and one for King’s Buildings. You can also pick up a paper copy of these from the Visitor Centre.
