Travelling to College

Travel Information

Our campuses are served by the local public transport network and many students get to College by bus or train. This page will give you general information about travelling to our campuses; each campus also has a dedicated page with specific information about bus and other transport routes.

Financial Assistance with Travel

Do you need financial assistance with your travel costs?

The College bursaries can offer financial support to help with the cost of travelling to college. If you live more than 3 miles (walking distance) from College and your household income is less than £35,000, you should apply.

Bus Pass

Do you live in Wiltshire?

Wiltshire Council offers a bus pass to Wiltshire College & University Centre students who are aged between 16-18 and who live in Wiltshire and more than three miles from the College. The bus pass allows you to make one journey to and from the College on days when it is open and costs £900 or a lower rate of £300 if your household income is less than £20,819. To find out more about the options open to you please visit the Wiltshire Council website.

Do you live in Wiltshire but are not eligible for the lower rate Wiltshire Council transport pass?

If you do not qualify for the lower rate bus pass, the full price of £900 is unlikely to be the most cost-effective option for your travel. Many of the bus companies offer discounted tickets for students or regular journeys. Follow the link to your campus below where you will find information about travel options.

Travelling to college from outside Wiltshire?

Follow the link to your campus below where you will find information about travelling to college from other counties.
