FAQs

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?

The Mathematics/Physics building is behind the Whitla Hall on the main University Campus. Parking is difficult around the campus during office hours and most people opt for public transport; there is limited availability of parking for Blue Badge holders, but unfortunately this cannot be guaranteed.

Train stations at Botanic/City Hospital are approximately a 10 minute walk; the bus and train station at Great Victoria Street is just under a mile away (approximately 20 minutes walk, or by Metro bus 8b/8d). There are a number of city centre car parks, and also car parks in Donegall Pass with variable charges.
