Around the campus
Although the University of Manchester isn't located on one isolated campus, our buildings are in the same general area of the city - all within easy walking distance from each other.
Wheelchair access
The campus map shows the wheelchair accessible route around the university. It's clearly marked in red.
(NB. The published route does not cover all areas of the campus due to ongoing / planned construction works. The route is likely to be modified as and when areas of the campus are redeveloped.)
Shuttle bus
Although the University buildings are relatively close together, there are regular shuttle-buses to pick-up and drop-off students at various points around the campus. These are also highlighted on the campus map.
The department of computer science is building 39 on the campus map.
