Parking on campus is extremely limited. There are only 394 parking spaces in total on campus including visitor, disabled, reserved and standard bays so staff are encouraged to seek alternative means of commuting to campus wherever possible or consider car sharing.
The University operates a 'pay and display' system for standard permit holders. Any member of staff is entitled to apply for a car parking permit at a cost of £50. This authorises access onto the site to seek a space and pay the relevant fee at the nearest 'pay and display' machine. Please note that there are only approximately 255 standard parking bays in total across the campus. Click on the link for location of parking spaces and 'pay and display' machines (PDF: 538KB).

Permit holders requiring authorised overnight parking are to purchase the relevant number of daily tickets required from a Pay and Display machine on the day they park their vehicle. The Pay and Display tickets should be taken to the Security Control Room, Armstrong Building, where the officers on duty will annotate them in red for the successive days that the vehicle is authorised to park on site. All relevant tickets are to be clearly displayed in the vehicle during the owner's absence.
There are separate arrangements for contractor parking including assessment of need, permits, charges and penalties.
