Getting around

Whether you're going to your lectures or meeting friends in town, getting around is pretty easy. 乐播传媒 City Transport (NCT) is a regular winner of the award for UK Bus Operator of the Year, and the city also has a frequent Tram service.

NCT buses, the Tram and Trent Barton buses all offer student passes that give you unlimited travel for either the academic or calendar year, or for less regular users you can just pay as you go.

To help you travel between campuses, the University offers a hopper bus service:

901 runs between University Park, Sutton Bonington and Kegworth
903 runs between University Park and Jubilee Campus
906 evening service connecting University Park and Jubilee Campus with Lenton and Beeston
