Navigating around campus
It takes about 10 minutes to walk from one side of campus to the other.
On the Parade, at the centre of campus, is the University Library. The Library is a good place to meet people during the Open Day and is signposted from around the campus.
From the Library, you can walk east along the Parade (turning left out of the Library) to get to the:
- Students' Union building
- campus bus terminus
- Sports Training Village with the Information Fair
If you walk west, you can find the campus shop, Fresh.
