Travelling to Glasgow
Plane
There are direct flights from several UK and continental European airports to Glasgow Airport. From the airport a taxi or bus will bring you to the university in 20 minutes (longer 07.30-09.30 or 16.30-18.30).
Direct flights by low-cost airlines (especially Ryanair) to Glasgow Prestwick Airport may be more convenient for some. This is a 45 min train journey from Glasgow Central station.
Edinburgh Airport is only 40 miles/60 km away, and has direct flights from some places not served from Glasgow. Unfortunately public transport connection via Edinburgh city centre takes some 90 minutes.
Train
Trains from England arrive at Glasgow Central station, and speeds have recently increased from London (minimum 4.5 hours) and northwest England.
The university is a 10 minute walk from the station.
Road
The M8 motorway brings you direct to Glasgow city centre, but expect significant queues in rush hours.
From the south and east, leave at junction 15 and follow the main road for 400 m to reach the university.
Parking is limited, but we may be able to arrange visitor's spaces with advance notice.
