Directions and maps

Whether you are joining us as a new student or just planning a visit, please be aware we’re based on two campuses – so make sure you’ve got the right one.

Directions and maps to both campuses can be found here. If you want to get to one of our halls of residence, the full addresses of all our accommodation blocks can be found in our accommodation section.

Campus maps and information

Explore the learning locations, recreational spots and halls of residence that make up our Lansdowne Campus.

Talbot Campus interactive map

Talbot is quite a compact Campus, but it squeezes in a lot of state-of-the-art facilities, lecture theatres and learning spaces. Use our interactive map to help you find your way around.

Room names and numbers

Almost all rooms across Lansdowne and Talbot follow the same naming convention – based on building name, floor, and room number. But if you get lost, this guide should help point you in the right direction.

How to get here
