Travelling in Oxford

The University is committed to delivering sustainable travel for its students, staff and wider community. For local travel, we encourage the use of public transport options like the BROOKESbus network. Cycling is also very popular and a common way to get around the city.

If you need help with your BROOKESkey application, or need any general advice on bus travel in Oxford, come to the helpdesk to speak to representatives from the Oxford Bus Company.

Students should not bring a car to Oxford as there are no car parking spaces available on campus or at halls, unless specific arrangements have been made (for example, PGCE students studying at Harcourt Hill Campus are able to obtain parking permits). Please note that in many hall of residences, it will be a condition of the tenancy that you must not bring a car with you.

If you will be living in halls of residence and you plan to arrive by car, please follow the instructions you will be sent by our Accommodation Bureau. We will have arrival slots for different halls and you will be sent your arrival slot nearer the time. There will be parking available for a limited period while students move in.

During semester time, there is no parking on the Headington Campus unless specific arrangements have been agreed prior to arriving.
