By train

Sheffield is at the heart of the railway network. Regular services operate between Sheffield and London St. Pancras (from just over 2 hours), Birmingham (1.25 hours), Leeds (1 hour), Manchester (1 hour) and Nottingham (1 hour).
To the university by tram
You can catch the Supertram to the campus from Meadowhall, the railway station and the city centre. Both the blue route to Malin Bridge and the yellow route to Middlewood stop at West Street and at the University. A discounted student ticket called the Unirider is available through the Stagecoach site.
To the university by bus
A number of regular bus services stop at or near the University. The most frequent of these are the 51, 52 and 95 from the city centre and the 120 from Sheffield Transport Interchange. A detailed list of all bus services that serve the University campus, their timetables and live departure information can be found by clicking any of the bus stops on the Travel South Yorkshire interactive public transport map. There are a range of ticket options available for young people and students through the two major bus operators in Sheffield – First and Stagecoach. Alternatively, multi-operator tickets are available from TravelMaster.
To the university by taxi
There are taxi ranks at the railway station and beside the City Hall. The journey to the University should only take five minutes, but can take 15 minutes if traffic is heavy. Expect to pay around £5.

We would advise you to arrive by public transport as there is limited parking at the accommodation. If you do decide to drive, please let us know and we can try to obtain a parking space for you.

National express also offer a third off travel for students and young people holding a Young Persons' Coachcard. See travel to the University from the station, above.
Megabus
Megabus coaches connect to destinations worldwide from Meadowhall Interchange, which is about four miles from Sheffield city centre. You can get a bus or train from Meadowhall into Sheffield city centre (then see above) or a tram direct to the University.

By air

We recommend that international visitors fly into Manchester airport, as it is served by many domestic and international carriers and has direct rail links to Sheffield day and night. Once you arrive, follow signs from arrivals to the train station. There are direct trains to Sheffield from the airport once an hour; the journey is roughly 1 hour 15 minutes (see directions from train station above).
Both London airports (Heathrow and Gatwick) are reasonably accessible by rail with just one change of train. We recommend you to allow at least four hours travel time between either of these airports and Sheffield.
