Our Birmingham city centre location means there is high demand for visitor parking on campus. We regret that parking is not available on campus itself for open days and other day-time events. Please contact the person organising your visit or event if you require a disabled car parking space or to see if any individual spaces are available.
There are alternative pay car parks nearby within 5 minutes walk of the campus. We also recommend that visitors use public transport where possible, as Birmingham city centre is within easy reach of many parts of the UK and the region.
