Travel

As much of the course, especially after the first year, is based off-campus at hospitals and in the community, it is important that prospective students are aware of the travelling required and the options available.

By car

Car parking at the University requires students to have an "Essential Users" permit. Car parking is restricted to designated spaces and students are not permitted to park at the Gibbet Hill site.

Each of the partner hospitals provides parking and details of the arrangements for medical students parking will be given as you start your clinical placements.

By bus

Local buses offer a frequent and convenient way of travelling to and from campus, and Coventry is well served by national coach links.

The University is primarily served by two bus companies, Travel Coventry and Stagecoach. There are regular bus services to the University campus from Coventry City Centre, Coventry Rail Station, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth.

Coach links nationwide are provided by National Express and Megabus.

To the hospitals

There are a number of bus services that go from the University of Warwick to our individual partner hospitals:

"There are a lot of associated costs with the Warwick course and the travel it involves. It probably cost me something in the region of £20 a week to get around, even when walking or cycling to campus."
