Location
UCMK is based in the heart of Milton Keynes on Silbury Boulevard (see Contact Us section for a map). The central rail and bus stations are just five minutes walk away and a large number of bus routes stop in Midsummer Boulevard, just behind UCMK. A reasonable number of free and reduced-rate parking spaces are available within an easy walk. In addition, a free park-and-ride service is provided by Milton Keynes College at the MK Dons stadium just a few miles away and a free shuttle bus service links the stadium with UCMK and the other College campuses.
Milton Keynes is an exciting place to live, work and study. There's much more to MK than the concrete cows and roundabouts, which are so often joked about. It is the fastest-growing new city in the country. It has been chosen as a base by some world-class companies and it enjoys some of the best city facilities in Europe. Central Milton Keynes offers excellent restaurants, clubs, leisure facilities, and shopping. Beyond that the city boasts beautiful parkland, landscaping and lakes. You can discover more about our beautiful and vibrant city online at www.mkweb.co.uk.
There are excellent transport links. Situated on the West Coast mainline, there are fast rail links to Birmingham and London, with London Euston being only 37 minutes away. Milton Keynes is situated half-way between Cambridge and Oxford, and there are regular coach services to both cities. Milton Keynes itself has an excellent road network and is easy to navigate, and the M1 motorway is on our doorstep. London Luton airport is just 18 miles away for those wishing to travel further afield. Our local neighbouring towns of Aylesbury, Bedford, Buckingham, Luton and Northampton are easily accessible.
Although the vast majority of our HE courses are delivered at the UCMK campus, some courses (or parts of courses) may be delivered at the other College campuses at Chaffron Way or at Bletchley, where access to facilities dictates (see the maps opposite). Both alternative campuses are well served by transport links and by the free park-and-ride shuttle bus service.
