Getting here
When you arrive
Our campus is in Dundee city centre and only a 10-minute walk from the bus and train stations. The limited on-street parking is for less than an hour and not suitable for Open Day. Look for AA signage for car parking. Closest is West Bell Street car park, satnav DD1 1EX. Next closest is Bank Street carpark, satnav DD1 1RW.
First thing to do is check-in. Make your way to the foyer of the Kydd Building.
Refreshments Refuel during the day at one of our locations on campus. Aroma Cafe (ground floor in the Student Centre, the big building directly opposite where you checked-in). Drinks and light snacks available. Library CafĂŠ (ground floor in the Library). Drinks and light snacks. Events Room, next to where you checked in, complimentary tea, coffee and water available.
