There are many ways you can get to us.
Get some fresh air on your way to and from college – walking has many benefits from physical fitness to improved mental health. You can set your own pace and know that you’re doing your bit for the environment by walking into college.
Fun fact – a short daily walk can increase productivity by up to 30%.
Coming from further afield, or wanting to beat the traffic? Cycling is a great form of exercise providing plenty of health benefits, as well as being kind to the environment.
Visit the Leeds City Bikes Scheme for more information about hiring a bike – this option may work out as more affordable than buying a bike, and is convenient if you don’t have storage at home for your own bike. And explore local cycle routes here!
Fun fact – regular cycling can improve sleep – improved sleep has a huge amount of health benefits.
Public transport is more eco-friendly than driving and offers regular services within Leeds and to neighbouring towns and cities. Our Rothwell Centre is conveniently connected via bus services through Leeds. Student tickets tend to be lower in cost than adult tickets and railcards and passes, where available, offer discounted prices. For ticket information, click here, and for current timetables, click here for buses and click here for trains.
Fun fact – Leeds used to have a tram network – it was closed down in the late 50s. Trams are set to return to Leeds in 2030.
If travelling by car is your preferred method of transport, why not car share? It can save you money by splitting the cost of fuel and parking, is better for the environment in that it can reduce congestion and if you sign up for a lift share scheme you could make new friends.
Fun fact – car sharing can speed up your journey as it allows you to use the 2+ person lanes – handy at peak travel times.
Accessible via a number of major roads through Leeds, it is possible to drive to us, however, we encourage all staff and students to use alternative methods of transport where possible. Our campus is conveniently located for access by bus, however if driving to campus, please be advised there is paid council parking available on site.
Fun fact – Our School of Sustainable Technologies and Motor Vehicle students work on real cars – including electric vehicles.
We may be able to help with the cost of travel to and from college. Please visit our Financial Support page for details.
