The University is located in a rural location just off the M58 motorway at Junction 3. However, towards the rear of the site we do have limited restrictions due to the residential properties. We have busy periods during the morning generally 8am till 10am were staff and students are accessing the car parks and walking from accommodation to the Hub and other buildings for educational purposes. Most current deliveries are completed using 7.5T vehicles and vans as Articulated Lorries find it difficult to access the site.

We currently have approx. 20'000 registered students and 2'500 staff registered with up to 5'000 on site each day.
