Cross the road using the pedestrian crossing then turn right, heading past the station car park. The open day registration point is a short walk from here If you need further directions, you can find our student ambassadors at the railway station and on campus. They're easy to spot in their red uniform.

Both our College Road and Leek Road sites have excellent bus links within the city centre and wider area. Open day signage will direct you around the campus and lead you to the registration point.

Our Stoke-on-Trent campus is within easy reach of the M6 motorway, A50 and A34 if you’re travelling by car. To get to the Open Day car parks on Leek Road, use the postcode ST4 2DF.
