How can I find the venue?
Registration is in MR3, Allam Medical Building (building 5 on the campus map). See ‘Travelling to Hull University’ for directions to campus from the city centre.
The conference will take place on the University of Hull main campus on Cottingham Road, located about 2.5 miles from Hull train station/Paragon bus interchange.
From Hull Station:
Bus: There are several bus services that operate between Hull interchange (part of the Hull Paragon train station) and the University in both directions.Bus number 45 will stop on Cottingham Road directly opposite the main campus entrance.
Bus numbers 104 and 5 will stop on Newland Avenue, several minutes walk from the main campus entrance, asking the driver for a ticket to the university on any of the above services will be understood.
Bus number 4 will stop on Beverly Road, at the intersection of Clough Road and Cottingham Road (you can ask the driver for a ticket to the Lidl on Beverly Road and they will understand where you mean). From here you can reach the University by walking 5-10 minutes along Cottingham Road.Note that these services are operated by East Yorkshire (45, 104) and Stagecoach (4, 5) buses respectively and tickets are not transferable. If you buy a return ticket or day-pass with one service, ensure you travel with the same operator on your return journey to avoid paying for another ticket.
Taxi : About 10 minutes from Hull train station. Below are the telephone numbers for a few taxi services that operate if you would like to arrange your travel in advance. Hull also is within Uber’s coverage if that is your preference.
