Sheffield is in the centre of the UK with great transport links to other major cities. By train, we’re just 2 hours from London and within an hour of Manchester, Leeds and Nottingham. 

Sheffield is only an hour and a half from Manchester or East Midlands Airport, so you can easily get to us from overseas or explore other countries.

It’s easy to travel around Sheffield. Our campus is a 25 minute walk from the train station, on the edge of the city centre.

You won’t need to go far to find well-known restaurants, major and international supermarkets, cinemas, bars and places to meet your friends.

Sheffield is the perfect city to explore on foot and there’s also easy public transport options to every part of the city. As a student, you’ll benefit from discounted student bus and tram tickets with a Zoom Beyond 18-21 Travel Pass.
